Comment
Competitiveness gap is the difference between the costs of using fossil-based natural gas and those of using biomethane. The plot uses the evolution of carbon costs for the base case energy scenario of S&P Global assuming a carbon intensity factor of 0.4. A 50% efficiency is also assumed for the gas-fired power plant.
