20th EU BC&E: Milano Convention Centre, downtown Milan City, Italy
The special event of the 20th EBC&E on “Biogas goes Europe” addresses the main challenges for further biogas development in Europe. High-level speakers from politics and policies, industry and research sectors present the latest trends in markets, policies, industrial applications and technical solutions. Key-stakeholders contribute in a panel discussion to the debate about how to boost industrial biogas developments in emerging European biogas markets.
The production and use of biogas is increasingly contributing to the sustainability of the current energy mix in many European countries. Considerable developments for the installation of agricultural biogas plants were achieved e.g. in Germany, Italy, Austria, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Denmark. The potential for biogas production in Europe is high.
However, the European market for biogas plants is still characterised by very different developments in the European countries, ranging from very few installations up to several thousands. This mirrors that biogas production is hence highly dependent on suitable framework conditions which are set-up by national policy makers.
This special event on ‘Biogas goes Europe’ provides to-date analysis and answers for the further biogas development in Europe.
