Acceptance of biogas as a secure and sustainable source of energy for cities, rural areas and islands

Organiser: ISLENET
Date: Wednesday 24/03, 14:00 PM
Address: 99-101 Rue Belliard
1040 Brussels Belgium
Event Type: Other
Location: Committee of the Regions (Jacques Delors building)
Room: 51
Area: Renewables
Description:

A joint event of four EU-co-financed projects BIORES, BIOGAS ACCEPTED, RE-WISE and BiG>East. (http://www.biores.eu/, http://www.big-east.eu/, http://www.biogasaccepted.eu/ and http://www.re-wise.org/ ) which will:

Present the legal/regulatory, financial and technical parameters of biogas technologies in order to increase awareness, overcome barriers and improve acceptance of biogas applications leading to more use of biogas for heating, electricity and as an alternative fuel.
Present the most crucial non-technological barriers for further biogas exploitation in Europe and a biogas roadmap.
Demonstrate through real case studies, the BIOGAS acceptance tool and the on-line web-based Decision Support System (DSS) how increased biogas use can contribute to CO2 emissions reduction, lead to energy cost savings in cities, communities, and regions, and create jobs and market opportunities.
Show how it is possible to manage food waste and exploit it as an endless source of biogas

TARGET GROUPS:

Public institutions and local authorities (cities, municipalities, regions with emphasis on Southern and Eastern Europe and island communities), local energy agencies and energy management authorities, consultants, engineers, IT and economy experts, investors in energy production and end-use energy-related market actors, waste management and environmental protection agencies and consumers/citizens, EU policy makers, representatives of the European Commission, European Associations, Lobby Groups.
