The UK’s Green Gas Support Scheme is driving growth in biogas production, but expanding the sector without stronger safeguards risks undermining its benefits to the environment. This briefing examines the key risks and sets out four policy recommendations for government and regulators. 

This briefing is intended for decision makers with an existing knowledge of biogas and biomethane. For a general introduction, see our companion briefing ‘Biogas in the UK explained’.
