Where: Föhren, Germany

Description:

• The company develops and builds technically intelligent, biogas plants that are flexible to the substrate and biomethane plants, which optimally correspond to the individual site conditions of the customers.

Problems:

• Because of the need of space, Bioenergy is a competitor to the agriculture

• Too much biofuels lead to environmental pollution

• The conversion of ecologically valuable areas such as rainforest, moors or grassland into arable land also leads to a threat and reduction of biodiversity.

Future goals:

• In the future a further massive expansion of bioenergy is expected

• Because bioenergy is easy to store, it is seen as an important energy for the future power supply

• According to studies, a bioenergy potential of up to 1,840 petajoule per year is to be developed in Germany under favorable conditions by 2050

• The share of renewable energies in the power supply shall be increased 30% in 2020
