The climate changes of last decades require more and more the finding of alternative solutions for the provision with electrical and thermal energy of at the farm level. The first biomethane plant from biogas was put into operation in Germany in 2006, thus offering an alternative to fossil fuels. Biomethane is used in liquid form as bio-LNG or in gaseous form as bio-CNG. In addition to its use in the electricity and heating markets, biomethane is particularly suitable for freight transport, while bio-CNG is more suitable for passenger cars, delivery vehicles, public transport and tractors. At
the same time, at the farm level, biomethane offers a decarbonisation tool by providing electricity and heat with a closed carbon cycle, being a renewable gas that can replace fossil fuels. At present, depending on European and national legislation, each of the European countries has its own means to support the biomethane market. This paper aims to present the current situation of biomethane production technologies, the possibilities of their use at farm level and the impact on the environment.
