Presented by Nevzat Şatıroğlu, Deputy Minister for Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Türkiye, the biogas declaration 2026 calls for governments and stakeholders to turn the global potential of biogases into climate, energy and rural development action.
The declaration is open to endorsement by national governments and aims to gather action to scale sustainable production and deployment of biogas and biomethane, while recognising their contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Deputy Minister argues that they can strengthen energy security and improve organic waste management. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global biogas and biomethane production reached 1,785 petajoules (PJ) in 2025, with biogas accounting for 78% of the total.
Biomethane is also gaining momentum. The IEA reported that global biomethane production almost tripled between 2018 and 2024, reaching approximately 10 billion cubic metres (bcm). It expects production to more than double again between 2024 and 2030, driven by investment and policy support across Europe, North America, Brazil and India.
