Biomethane is a net-zero emissions fuel alternative to natural gas. As of 2022, Europe is the region with the largest actual production output, at some 1.8 million metric tons per year (MTPA). Meanwhile, the Asia and Oceania region has one of the highest potentials for future biomethane production, at 165 MTPA. The source considered existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure when extrapolating future biomethane output potential.
