"#Biomethane" literally means "create methane from crops".

And I'm not sure, as a EU citizen, if this is something I'd like to see my money spent on - or, worse, actively incentivised.

Granted, we're likely to face a challenging winter, our gas supplies are likely to be slashed by at least 25% because of Russia. But is this a sufficient reason to actively incentivise plans that produce methane from crops?

Remember: methane is still a powerful greenhouse gas. On the short term, it captures 80% more heat than CO2. And producing methane from crops, unless the EU comes up with a viable solution to recycle wasted crops at scale in a short time, means to either use up more land, or take food away from somebody's plate. This is especially a bad idea in a time where tons of Ukrainian grain are still stuck on the Black Sea. And it's especially a bad idea if it's not also accompanied by a serious policy to create disincentives to red meat consumption - most of the crops that we grow don't end up in our bellies, but in the belly of a cow that we eventually eat.

So why are we even doing this? If it's really something for the short-term (read: "just for this winter, because this winter is gonna suck"), then can we at least clearly say "biomethane will only be funded as a TEMPORARY SOLUTION"?
