While biogas offers clear environmental and economic benefits—such as reducing farm waste, lowering energy costs, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions—many farmers still face barriers that delay adoption. Common concerns include high upfront investment, technical complexity, or simply not knowing where to start.

The good news? These challenges are increasingly being addressed through financial incentives, technical support, and training programmes across Europe and beyond. For example, EU schemes under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Horizon Europe often provide funding opportunities or support services to help farms transition to renewable energy systems like biogas. Local cooperatives and NGOs also play a growing role in providing practical, on-the-ground assistance.

If you're a farmer, project developer, or advisor wondering if biogas is worth the leap—it is. Stay informed, reach out to support networks, and take advantage of available resources. The transition may be easier than you think, and the benefits—for your farm and the planet—are long-lasting.
