My blog has always been relatively free of direct stuff on my work but here’s just a post where I wanted to document some of the work that the Blunomy/Enea team had worked on over the past couple of years.
Moreover, it has been over a year since I stepped up to take care of our Renewable Fuels practice at Blunomy for the Asia Pacific. Things have been really challenging and tough on the energy transition front for the world, and for the business of consulting but when I look at these analysis and work we’ve put out, I’m reminded of how far the industry and market has come.
Some of these materials I’m putting links to are available as ‘publications’ on our website, but some of them have been put out by our clients who have decided to make some of our work public.
- Overview of the biomethane sector in France and ideas for its development (2017) – Completed for multiple stakeholders in the France gas sector
- Biogas Opportunities for Australia (2019) – Completed for Australia Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Bioenergy Australia
- Australia National Bioenergy Roadmap (2021) – Completed for ARENA
- Assessment of Victoria’s Biogas Potential (2021) – Completed for Sustainability Victoria (part of DEECA)
- 2030 Emission Reduction Opportunities for Gas Networks (2023) – Completed for Energy Networks Australia
- Vision for biogas in Aotearoa New Zealand (2024) – Completed for Clarus Group
- Biomethane Potential in AGIG’s gas network catchment (2024) – Completed for Australia Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG)
- Comprehensive overview of green gas technologies (2024) – Completed for GRDF Research & Innovation
- Biomethane Opportunities to Decarbonise Australian Industry (2025) – Completed for Energy Networks Australia
This corpus of work followed public sentiments and appreciation of biogas and biomethane as a source of energy across Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Starting with awareness-building and education on this source of green energy that contributes also to circularity, we went on to develop analytical pieces focusing on feedstocks, understanding feedstock value chains, as well as more advocacy pieces that cuts through the challenges in the industry to recommend suitable policy intervention should the government determine this was a worthy cause to pursue.
Blunomy continues to build upon our experience and expertise. During this period, we also performed due diligence on more than 50 projects across different parts of Europe, looked into impact assessment as well as the help clients develop relevant investment cases for this business. Until biomethane becomes a more mainstream form of green energy, the work will not end. Even at that point, there will be new challenges and issues to overcome.
