ENTSOG TYNDP 2017 - Main Report

According to the TSO estimates in the EU Green Revolution and Green Evolution scenarios, the largest share of biomethane injection in 2037 will take place in Italy, reaching up to 42%, and in the Netherlands, 24%. In 2037 Italy, France, United Kingdom and the Netherlands could account for over 90% of biomethane supply in Europe.

Power-to-gas Irrespective to the approach to combine biomethane and power-to-gas technologies statistically ENTSOG considers power-to-gas as an important technology to foster the convergence of energy systems. Power-to-gas enables long-term storage and efficient transport of excess of renewable energies discontinuously produced. For the first time TYNDP dedicates a chapter to their contribution to the European ener- gy transition (See Energy Transition chapter).
