More Renewables Lead To Lower Demand For Methane In Europe
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Wind and solar capacity in Europe has surged from under 20 GW to nearly 750 GW over 25 years, now nearly twice methane-fired capacity; renewable generation now regularly matches or exceeds gas output for extended periods in 2025–2026.
This reflects installed capacity and recent output trends; enforcement of legacy gas infrastructure retirement and meeting winter peak demand still present technical and policy challenges.
