Postgraduate Program Renewable Energy (PPRE)
Project Planning for Bio-digesters in Developing and Industrialized Countries
Feb. 01 -- Feb. 04, 2010
As in the past few years the Postgraduate Programme Renewable Energy at the University of Oldenburg will hold a 4-day Workshop on Biogas. The course will cover planning and technology of bio-digesters in developing and in industrialized countries.
The first three days are dedicated to topics ranging from planning, construction and operation to financing, policy implementation and local market development.
Long term experiences will be presented by specialists of bio-digester programmes in (south-east) Asian countries. Our experts have been working in several biogas-programmes tailored to rural areas of developing countries for more than 20 years.
On the last day of the workshop the perspective will be opened to the technical details and financing of bio-digesters in Europe. Professionals in the addressed fields will hold extended presentations. The current situation and the perspectives in financing such systems in a market undergoing critical changes at short time intervals will be discussed.
The workshop will be accompanied with an evening session (admission free) on the prospects and the sustainability of biogas technology in competition with food and raw material production.
