The accomplishment of the goals of the Kyoto
protocol and the EU strategy for increasing the
share of renewable energy, and especially of the
biomass based energy, in the total energy
consumption, give biogas an important role, as one
of the key technologies for producing cheap green
energy and vehicle fuel. At the same time, biogas
from anaerobic digestion improves the nutrient
management and the veterinary safety and prevents
pollution from animal manure and digestible
bio-wastes. Many biogas
projects are abandoned at an early stage as the
potential investors and promoters are often unaware
of the business opportunities and socio-economic and
environmental benefits associated with biogas
systems.
The aim of the workshop is to provide an up-date of
the existing knowledge, know how and expertise in
the area of biogas from AD, to show successful
examples of barriers break down and to look upon
further strategies for the development of biogas
systems in Europe. The results of the assessment of
economic, environmental and socio economic impact of
centralised co-digestion for six selected case study
regions in Europe will be presented with this
occasion.
The
workshop addresses to biogas experts, farmers and
farmers’ organisations and associations, researchers
and technology developers, biogas plants suppliers
and users, decision makers, legislative-,
administrative- and local authorities, etc.
The event is part of the activity of the PROBIOGAS
project, co–financed by the EC/IEEA, the Altener
Programme. The organiser of the workshop is the
University of Southern Denmark, Bioenergy
Department, which is also the main co-ordinator of
the PROBIOGAS project.
