BEST ACE

The project BEST ACE helps develop natural gas grid infrastructure and use biomethane efficiently in long-haul transport and maritime industry.
Project summary

Biogas is one of the key solutions for EU to reach the Fit for 55-target. At the same time the current EU-regulations for vehicles measure emissions at the tailpipe, and not from the full production cycle. Stricter emission targets means that compressed biogas (CNG) soon will be phased out for light vehicles and replaced by electricity and hydrogen. The current problem is that the light vehicle market will be ending in the upcoming years and the new proposed markets for biogas will not be action ready for many years. This time gap could be devastating for the millions of euros already invested in biogas production and infrastructure in the Baltic region. The commission has pointed out that biogas as liquified biomethane, which is a locally available resource, should be aimed mainly for the European gas grid but also for long-haul transports, maritime use and reformed into hydrogen. As most of the Baltic and Nordic countries lacks a natural gas grid, these new markets are of great importance to quickly develop. The BEST-ACE project paves way for these uses of biogas by providing a business roadmap for biomethane in the Baltic area for the use in long-haul transports, maritime use, reformation to hydrogen and for the natural gas grids. By including stakeholders from all partner countries in the development the business road map and the visualization of the goals and objectives, we make sure that the business plan is valid and relevant for each market and for each partner country. This will speed up the market process and ease the transition to the new markets, avoid the time gap for implementation and secure a continuous development of biogas production in the region.
