Italy’s energy debate often jumps from LNG terminals and pipelines to solar, wind, and batteries. But one of the country’s most underused assets lies much closer to the ground – in manure, crop residues, agro-industrial byproducts, and municipal organic waste.
If Italy can turn that messy feedstock into industrial-scale biomethane and renewable gas, it would not just trim emissions. It would reduce import dependence, strengthen rural incomes, and give hard-to-electrify sectors a practical decarbonization option.
