Get Involved

Join the work of the Biomethane Industrial Partnership!

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:

Associated Membership

All interested stakeholders can sign up as Biomethane Industrial Partnership associate member. Associated members are involved by:

  • Consulted on specific topics,
  • Invited to participate in specific events including workshops, organised by the Biomethane Industrial Partnership.

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

Task Force Membership

The Task Force membership is an extension of the Associated 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,
  • Delivering on the task set out, and reporting to the Governing Board.

The work of the Biomethane Industrial Partnership is currently structured in six Task Forces. Since the number of members of each Task Force is capped, a selection process takes place based on transparent criteria to ensure a diverse and dedicated group.

Please note that a first selection of Task Forces 1-5’ members has been made in January 2023, and they are currently working to help achieve the goal of the BIP. Nonetheless, all stakeholders who are interested in joining a Task Force 1-5 are always encouraged to apply. New applications will be elaborated in due course.

Should you wish to make an immediate contribution to the work of BIP Task Forces 1-5, prior to the next selection of these Task Forces’ members, you are encouraged to contact the BIP secretariat and express your interest to be involved as subject matter expert in specific topics of these Task Forces. If your proposal is accepted, you would function as ‘associated member’, holding a position that does not entail full membership but allows occasional involvement in the activities of the Task Forces.

On the other hand, registrations for the membership of Task Force 6 are currently open. If you are interested, we invite you to submit your application, as the selection of members will precede the kick off of the Task Force, set to be scheduled for the year 2024. 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.
