With the new Italian decree, existing biogas plants can also be converted to produce biomethane. On one condition: that only 70% of the electricity produced continues to benefit from the current incentives. This condition, verified for 3 years, permits the conversion of 30% of the biogas to biomethane with the relevant incentive in CIC certificates. Additionally, in order to receive the CIC certificates a qualification must be requested from GSE. Detailed information on this subject is provided by the Consorzio Italiano Biogas (Italian Biogas Consortium).
