Wasn’t Germany that weird one where ‘gas’ was labeled as ‘renewable’?

Biogas from decomposition is renewable. That definition is accepted internationally.

Doesn't mean it's ecological. There's a difference.

Depends on whether you grow crops specifically to turn into fuel or ferment waste that would otherwise ferment in the open.

The main point on the European level revolved around whether construction of gas plants should get access to some green fund or the other, to which the answer is yes because they'll always carry some on-demand load, and seasonal storage is bound to include syngas because we'll need that stuff anyway as chemical feedstock.
