Disappointing growth in EU biomethane production, growing by 'only' 12% from 'gas year' (Oct-Sep) 2023/24 to 2024/2025.
5 years to go to the REpowerEU target of 350 TWh; that would now require a 52% compound annual growth rate.

But: no incentive at all for commercial companies to start filling up again: prices throughout the year are higher than those for next winter. If we want the storages filled, governments need to act.
