Biomethane, Wood Gas, Hydrogen

Tuesday, 12 January 2026
09:30 – 16:00
Palais Eschenbach, Eschenbachgasse 11, 1010 Vienna

With the conference “Biomethane, Wood Gas, Hydrogen – Using Them Together”, an event will take place in Austria for the first time that specifically brings together experts from the fields of biomethane, wood gas, and renewable hydrogen. The aim is to strengthen exchange between these expert communities, foster mutual learning, and identify concrete synergies to support the expansion of renewable gases.

Renewable gases play a central role in ensuring a secure, sustainable, and regionally anchored energy supply. The conference is based on best-practice examples intended to provide impulses for accelerating the development and application of renewable gases. Particular focus will be placed on security of supply, regional value creation, and the targeted use of synergies between different gas pathways.

System Integration of Renewable Gases

The central topic of the conference is the system integration of renewable gases, in other words the interaction between production, grid connection, storage, and demand. Technical quality requirements for the gases will be examined, as well as the availability of suitable feedstocks and the development of reliable regional supply chains.
