Organisations
Fachverband Biogas e.V.
The German Biogas Association unites operators, manufacturers
and planners of biogas plants, representatives from
science and research and all those interested in the industry.
Since its establishment in 1992, the association, which
currently has more than 4,800 members, has become the
most influential independent organisation in the field of
biogas worldwide. It campaigns for the increased use of biogas
and biomethane technology through political lobbying
at EU, national and state levels. Furthermore, it encourages
the exchange of biogas-related information and knowledge,
for instance by collecting, evaluating and spreading knowledge
of scientific findings and practical experience, or by
means of conferences, exhibitions and other events.
Fachverband Biogas e.V. works closely with international
organisations such as the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit [German Association for International
Cooperation] (GIZ), the United Nations Industrial
Development Organisation (UNIDO), the International
Solid Waste Association (ISWA) as well as the European
Biogas Association (EBA), where it also acts as a founding
member. As a consequence, Fachverband Biogas e.V.
actively promotes and stimulates the exchange of international
experience.
