“Biogas – Targets, Potential & Promotion within Central Europe” was the title of the Transnational Forum of the project 4Biomass on 07. April 2011 in the Ministry of Economy in Warsaw, Poland. This conference with about 100 participants was organised by the Institute of Power Engineering (Poland) together with the German Agency for Renewable Resources and Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation & Nuclear Safety.

The morning session of the conference was dedicated to implementation strategies of several European states in the field of biogas.

The afternoon session was focused on the presentations of experiences on currently debated biogas issues like concurrence of use, injection into the natural gas grid and production of biogas from waste.

In the final panel discussion representatives of Poland, Italy, Hungary and Germany jointly came to the conclusion that the most promising future version for biogas is the use of biomethane as fuel in public transport. Further it was agreed that combined heat & power production is a good opportunity, but it should always be pointed out that local supply and as well local demand should always be the first to consider.

Summarising there are difficulties and barriers but as well many opportunities for the sustainable usage of biogas in Central Europe. The situation can well be described with the words of the famous Slovenian author Srečko Kosovel: "Gnoj je zlato in zlato je gnoj." ("Dung is gold and gold is dung.”)
