The project has generated significant knowledge and experience of all sections of the biogas chain, which will provide a focus for the event. This workshop is a chance to transfer knowledge and share experience between relevant organisations and practitioners.

Following the event there will be two days of international training for cities (31/08/2010 - 01/09/2010) which will offer further opportunity for exchange of good practices and for building capacity for changes towards more sustainable urban transport in the countries of both Central and Eastern Europe and of Western Europe.

Firstly, the aim of the questions was to assess the response levels of the Biogasmax database. « Are those registered still engaged with the issue: biomass /waste/transport? » Overall, 20 % of the database responded positively to a request for help and information from Biogasmax. 31.7 % of respondents to the first questionnaire added a comment. This demonstrates that the attractiveness of the project is still progressing after four years of work. This level of response is among the highest for a B2B database.

Secondly, we wanted to check the decision-making capacity of the subscribers. « Are they in a position to make a commitment on behalf of their organization? » Request for partnership for a new project: short-term: 37, medium-term: 61, long-term: 26 The exceptional raw rate of answers for partnerships shows clearly that those registered are decision-makers or influencers for their organization.

Thirdly, we wanted to assess the level of reliability established by the project. « Would those registered involve their organization in a follow-on to Biogasmax? » 10 % of the database declares itself interested in a partnership in a future program.

The analysis of the answers to open-ended question shows that comments come mostly from people/organizations which have been registered for several years. This shows that the association of content and communication has helped develop loyalty towards Biogasmax.

10 % of the database declared itself interested in a partnership in a future program and 3 % have already confirmed their wich to become partner and specified a potential role. Affected by the magnitude and the support of all Biogasmax friends around the project and all the things were done for four years, all these feedbacks encourage us to continue.

"On the EU average 40% of bio-waste is still landfilled (up to 100% in some Member States). However, landfilling (1) invokes major environmental risks such as emissions of greenhouse gases and pollution of soil and groundwater and, (2) withdraws valuable resources (compost, energy) irrevocably from economic and natural cycles" (see art. 1, p. 2).

The Commission Communication now accentuates " that improved management of bio-waste in the EU holds an untapped potential for significant environmental and economic benefits " (see art. 8, p. 10). " About one-third of the EU's 2020 target for renewable energy in transport could be met by using biogas produced from bio-waste, while around 2% of the EU's overall renewable energy target could be met if all bio-waste was turned into energy " (see art. 5, p. 5).

However, bio-waste covers only a small portion of the total biomethane potential. The EU definition of bio-waste does e.g. not include manure based biomethane (provides the highest GHG avoidance of all biomethane options with up to 148%), gas made from other agricultural resources, forest waste or biodegradable waste such as sewage sludge. In detail, bio-waste as defined in the revised Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) only includes garden and park waste, food and kitchen waste from households, restaurants, caterers and retail premises as well as comparable waste from food processing plants.

Coordonné par Lille Métropole Communauté urbaine, cet ambitieux programme a permis de montrer la pertinence environnementale, technique et économique de la filière du biométhane-carburant.

Cette conférence vous donnera l'occasion de connaître et partager les expériences les plus innovantes dans le domaine et de faire le point sur les perspectives de développement de la filière en France. Elle sera aussi un moment priviligié pour se rencontrer et nouer des échanges propices à l'émergence de nouveaux projets sur les territoires.
