Summary/Abstract: Renewable gases gradually appear on the European energy market as possible alternatives to natural gas. Renewable gases include biogas, biomethane and hydrogen as well as synthetic gas. The extensive use of renewable gases in the future and their important role, not only in covering the energy demands in the European Union but also in terms of their impact on the climate and possible contribution to achieving the Paris Agreement objectives, are very clearly emphasized. The production, supply or distribution of renewable gas with a gas network are areas that must be regulated at least to a minimum extent. European legislators should also implement appropriate incentives for the production and use of these gases, such as the use of a green certificate system, tax exemptions, preferential tariffs for access to the network or co-financing, in particular for innovative projects. This article analyzes current regulations in this area and presents proposals that can be implemented when the renewable gases market becomes more developed.
