Why join the partnership

The Biomethane Industrial Partnership brings together EU policy makers, Member State representatives, companies active in the biomethane supply chain and other stakeholders. All with the goal to support the achievement of the target of 35 billion cubic metres annual production & use of sustainable biomethane by 2030, and to create the preconditions for a further ramp-up of its potential towards 2050.

The Biomethane Industrial Partnership got formally launched on the 28 of September, 2022, during the European Sustainable Energy Week. The partnership membership is free, and is open to all interested stakeholders that align with the goal of the partnership. By joining the BIP you will be able to give valuable input and you can choose to also actively participate and support the partnership.

There are two ways to get involved

The partnership offers two types of memberships:

BIP Membership

All interested stakeholders can sign up as BIP member. BIP members are part of the Partnership without being actively involved in Task Force activities and meetings. BIP members are involved by:

  • Consulted on specific topics and deliverables;
  • Invited to participate in specific events including workshops.

BIP membership is open to all and no selection criteria apply.

Task Force Membership

The Task Force membership is an extension of the BIP membership. All EU policy makers, Member State representatives, companies active in biomethane and other stakeholders that wish to actively contribute and be involved to achieving the goal of the Partnership can sign up for Task Force membership. Task Force members are involved by:

  • Actively participating with other experts on the topics in the Task Forces, attending regular meetings, collecting data, conducting analysis and preparing the necessary materials to finalise their deliverables.

The work of the Biomethane Industrial Partnership is currently structured in six Task Forces. The six Task Forces of the BIP are open to an unlimited number and types of members, provided that they subscribe to the goal of the BIPĀ and possess relevant expertise, with the sole exception of Task Force 1 in the light of its peculiar scope, whose membership will still be limited to public authoritiesĀ  appointed by the national governments, representatives of the European Commission and the EBA.

All interested parties have the possibility to apply for the membership of a Task Force(s) at any time during the lifetime of Task Forces. If you have not previously submitted an application, apply using the section provided below. Those who have previously applied through the below section are encouraged to express their interest by reaching out to the BIP Secretariat at secretariat@bip-europe.eu.
