BIOFUELSCLIMATE POLICY, REGULATION & CARBON MARKETS
Austria may assign a zero valuation to biomethane in its CO₂ pricing system if certain conditions are met. The Austrian Compost & Biogas Association states that the Federal Ministry of Finance has confirmed that biomethane will not be included in the upcoming EU Emissions Trading System for buildings and transport (EU-ETS 2) or the national Emissions Trading Act (NEHG 2022). The applicable criteria will now be based on the European Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (MRR) 2018/2066.
