Domestic gas is to be banned in a few years.

If you call 30 years a few. Even so, biogas is being considered as an
acceptable alternative, so it might be more akin to the changeover
from town gas to natural gas than a complete end to gas as a fuel.

What's so magic about biogas? How does it differ from methane?

It doesnt. Methane IS biogas. All gas and oil - unless you are an
abiotic 'believer' are biological in origin.
