GUIDE TO BIOGAS FROM PRODUCTION TO USE biogasportal.info Guide to Biogas From production to use The Project "Technology Cooperation in the Energy Sector" of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) supports the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to improve framework conditions, technical assistance and approaches for the deployment of renewable energies and energy efficiency in developing and emerging countries. The English version of the "Leitfaden Biogas" was jointly financed by the following GIZ projects: - Technology Cooperation in the Energy Sector - Project Development Programme (PDP) East Africa - ASEAN-Renewable Energy Support Programme - Promotion of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Programme (PREEEP), Uganda - SINO-German Project for Optimization of Biomass Utilization Supported by: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit Dag-Hammarskjöld-Weg 1-5 65760 Eschborn Germany T +49 6196 79-4102 F +49 6196 79-115 E energy@giz.de I www.giz.de Published by the Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.
