THE NETHERLANDS?
Learn from 10 years of
technical biogas experience
in Germany.
Did you, as an agrarian
entrepeneur, ever wonder
why biogas systems are not
more commonplace in the
Netherlands? Or why many
attempts to succeed, small
or large, are constantly
threatening to fail? And why
do our Eastern neighbours
from Germany succeed?
The German Agricultural
Organisation DLG e.V.
organises together with five
other German bioenergy
organizations, BioEnergy
Decentral 2010 in Hannover
from 16-19 November. This
international exhibition will
after the succesfull edition in
2008 again be the meeting
place for the international
BioEnergy industry.

energy consultants to visit BioEnergy Decentral 2010, DLG Benelux
organises on 6 October an informative congress as a preview to
the BioEnergy Decentral 2010. This preview focuses on the theme
“Learning from 10 years of biogas experience in Germany”.
During the congress all aspects of biogas technology will be
discussed. From existing experiences in the Netherlands, to new
comprehensive knowledge from Germany. Also legislation and
funding issues will be discussed. What is already possible in the
Netherlands, which support does Europe actually give and how the
Germans have settled their affairs. In short, what opportunities are
there for Dutch entrepreneurs in biogas technology?
