Grazer Energieagentur :: Projekte :: Urban Biogas - Print 08.07.13 16:39 Projekt "Urban Biogas" Ziel des Projektes "Urban Biogas" ist es, die Verwertung von Bioabfällen zur Biogaserzeugung in 5 Europäischen Städten zu unterstützen. Das erzeugte Biogas soll aufbereitet werden und anschließend als Biomethan ins Erdgasnetz eingespeist werden, beziehungsweise in Erdgasfahrzeugen zum Einsatz kommen. Der Schwerpunkt des Projekts ist, fünf marktfähige WtB-Konzepte für fünf europäische Städte zu entwickeln. Dies wird durch die Organisation von Veranstaltungen, Workshops, Arbeitsgruppen, Meetings, Studienreisen und Austauschbesuchen, unterstützt. Der Fokus der österreichischen Urban Biogas Aktivitäten liegt auf der Region Steiermark aufgrund der großen Anzahl an bestehenden Biogas-Anlagen, des guten existierenden Gasnetzes und der funktionierenden Abfallwirtschaft. UrbanBiogas wird im Rahmen des Intelligent Energy for Europe Programmes der Europäischen Kommission unterstützt. Das UrbanBiogas Konsortium besteht aus 11 Partnern und wird von WIP Renewable Energies aus Deutschland koordiniert. Nähere Informationen finden Sie hier!

Grazer Energieagentur :: Projekte :: Urban Biogas - Print 08.07.13 16:39 Bildliche Impressionen vom Workshop und einigen Stationen der Study Tour Am 13. und 14.05. gab es im Rahmen des IEE-Projektes Urban Biogas ein internationales Projektmeeting mit insgesamt 29 Teilnehmern aus sechs Ländern. Das Projekt unterstützt die Konzeption und Umsetzung von Abfall zu Biomethan in fünf europäischen Städten. Kern des 2-tägigen Meetings war der Workshop Geschäftsmodelle für Urban Biogas Projekte im Media Center Graz, welcher neben den Projektpartnern auch zahlreiche externe Teilnehmer ansprach. Dort präsentierten Anlagenbetreiber, Biomethan-Händler und Investoren ihre Praxisbeispiele und gingen besonders auf die Schwerpunkte Business-Modelle, Vertragsmodalitäten und Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten ein. Am 15./16.05. gab es dann eine spezielle Urban Biogas Study Tour zu vier österreichischen Biogasanlagen (Leoben, Engerwitzdorf, Wiener Neustadt, Wien Pfaffenau). Dort konnten die Teilnehmer vor Ort Biogasanlagen mit unterschiedlichen Substraten und Aufbereitungstechnologien besichtigen.
