Jan Sakławski participated in the work of an expert team on biogas and biomethane operating at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development

Jan Saklawski, legal adviser and partner at the firm, became a member of the expert team for biogas and biomethane at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and participated in the work on regulatory changes for biomethane projects.

A team of experts from the Government Plenipotentiary for Rural Energy Transition, including Jan Sakławski, has prepared a comprehensive proposal to amend the legal provisions governing biomethane production in Poland.

The main assumptions of the legislative proposal include:

• Introduction of a legal definition of biomethane.
• Introduction of operational support instruments for biomethane production.
• Integration of biomethane installations into the gas network.
• Introduction of facilitations in the investment and construction process.
• Use of biomethane to achieve the National Indicative Target.

The first meeting of the biomethane team took place on November 15, 2022. The legislative proposals on biomethane developed by the team of experts will be included in the amendment to the RES Act (UC 99) prepared by the Ministry of Climate and Environment. The proposed legal regulations are crucial for the development of the Polish biomethane sector.
