REGATEC 2022 is in good progress

REGATEC 2022 takes place 17-18 May at Scandic Triangeln in Malmö. With two months to go the interest is very strong.

There are now only 4 exhibitor spaces left before the exhibition is sold out. 1 Gold Sponsor and 7 Silver Sponsors  covering anaerobic digestion, gasification, power-to-gas, monitoring and optimization, as well as trading show that REGATEC is a true hotspot for the AD, gasification and P2G communities.

The call for posters is open until 31 March and there are still a few places left.

REGATEC 2020* take aways

REGATEC 2020* (postponed from May 2020 until September 2021) took place 20-21 September 2021 in Weimar. The conference was organised in collaboration with the Energy Agency of Thuringia.

106 physical and 13 online participants from 20 countries, 11 sponsors and 30 exhibitors made REGATEC a vibrant hotspot for the biogas, biomass gasification and P2G community.

Hot topics were, among others, biogas liquefaction and syngas fermentation. Industrial scale microbial methanation projects were presented together with first-of-a-kind industrial scale biomass gasification and biogas pre-treatment plants.

The conference proceedings with short extended abstract of the presentations are available, free of charge. For more info: http://regatec.org/home/conference-proceedings/

A successful EBA 10-year anniversary conference

On the 19th of September the 10-year anniversary of the European Biogas Association (EBA) took place at Palais des Académies in Brussels.

The conference was opened by the new president of EBA, Harm Grobrügge. The conference was sold out and there were even people on a waiting list!

It’s evident that EBA is a strong voice in Brussels and that the EU Commission listens to EBA. Representatives from DG ENergy, DG Move and DG AGRI all recognised the work done by EBA and recommended EBA to emphasize the sustainability aspects of biogas (anaerobic digestion) and synthetic methane (gasification and Power -to-gas) and how they contribute to the circular bio-economy and other socio-economic benefits.

Biogas can be used in many applications but it seems that upgrading of biogas to natural gas quality is attracting most interest. Bruno Sander Nielsen, Danish Biogas Association presented the Danish sucess case and the ambition to completely replace natural gas with renewable gas in 2035-2050.

The discussion became a little bit more louder when energy crops as substrate was mentioned. The food versus fuel discussion seems still to be alive. However, the focus is on intermediate or sequential crops for nutrient management, soil improvement and reduce soil erosion. It’s obvious that both different types of waste and intermediate crops are needed and they don’t exclude each other.

Among many interesting presentations the overview of biomass gasification projects and innovation in Europe by Olivier Guerrini, ENGIE and the role of biomethane in a decarbonised world by Zoltan Elek, Landwärme can be mentioned.

The conference ended with a nice cocktail and light dinner including the tasty anniversary cake.

REGATEC 2019 is in good progress

REGATEC 2019 takes place 20-21 May at Scandic triangeln, Malmö, Sweden. The interest in renewable methane including biogas, biomethane, bioSNG, electro-methane and landfill gas is huge. The exhibition was sold out at an early stage and the poster session is full. 70+ oral and visual presentations by leading experts and prominent industrial representatives, Network Plus, the exhibition and the poster session make REGATEC 2019 a vibrant hotspot for the biogas, gasification, power-to-gas and landfill gas communities.

So far almost 170 people from 24 countries have registered for the conference.

Jörgen Held appointed Executive Managing Director of Baltic Energy Innovation Centre

The Baltic Energy Innovation Centre is a non-profit making association with activities focused on innovative energy technology in general, and biogas and biomethane related development in particular.

The association was founded by Lithuanian Energy Institute, Institute for Biogas, Waste Management & Energy  and Renewable Energy Technology International AB.

The general assembly appointed Dr. Jörgen Held as the Executive Manaing Director on the 20th of June 2017.

REGATEC 2018 takes place 3-4 May in Toulouse

The 5th edition of International Conference on Renewable Energy Gas Technology, REGATEC 2018 takes place at Radisson BLU in Toulouse, France 3-4 May 2018.

France is becoming the new hotspot for biomethane due to the strong political will and the high feed-in tariff. We are happy to bring REGATEC to France and provide a platform for the AD, gasification and Power-to-gas community.

 

REGATEC 2017 in good progress

EBA Conference – call for papers

The 3rd Conference of the European Biogas Association takes place 27-29 September in Ghent, Belgium.

EBA is looking for scientific presentations (oral and posters) on all conference topics, both from academia and the industry and the call for papers is open http://biogasconference.eu/programme/call-for-papers/

Oral presentations and posters will be evaluated by the Scientific Advisory Council (SAC) of EBA, consisting of acknowledged experts in anaerobic digestion and gasification technologies

Papers can be delivered on all conference topics: biogas and syngas production, biomethane production, circular economy, sustainable raw materials, digestate, biorefineries and future markets.

The SAC will evaluate the proposals based on their relevance to the topic, innovation of the concept and quality of presentation (both scientific evidence and oral skills). Upon peer review the SAC reserves the right to decide about oral or poster presentations where appropriate.
