Society is largely moving into electric mobility to achieve net -zero emissions, with the choice of electrification as the sole viable option for decarbonizing personal road transport. While this perspective has some merits, it overlooks the potential of biomethane produced through anaerobic digestion (AD) as a carbon -negative solution. Biomethane from AD offers not only carbon -neutrality but the possibility of being carbon -negative, with estimates suggesting it could provide 10 % of the world 's primary energy consumption by 2050. AD provides socio-environmental advantages, including improved quality of life and employment opportunities, a particularly relevant topic in developing countries. The technology is mature, cost-effective, and applicable across various sectors and therefore it is imperative that it is considered as an alternative or complementation to electrification of road transport.
