With about 3,900 members the German Biogas association is
Europe`s biggest biogas lobby. It unites owners, manufactures
and planners of biogas plants, and representatives of science
and research. The association with its 26 employees promotes
the extensive sustainable use of biogas technologies at European,
national and regional levels. Besides the headquarters
in Freising, the association is represented in Berlin as well as in
three regional offices in the north, south and east of Germany.
In addition to the political representation of interests the German
Biogas association has the following aims:
advancement of technical development
Promotion, evaluation and intermediation of scientific
expertise and practical experience
Publications
Promotion of national and international intermediation of
experience
Formulation of quality standards
Through participation in European projects and its membership
in the European renewable Energies Foundation (ErEF),
the German Biogas association is an active initiator of the international
pooling of experience. It is represented by a committee
elected by the general meeting of members. These are organized
into 24 regional groups.
The most important event of the branch is the Biogas annual
Conference. With more than 3,600 visitors this year, more visitors
