Biogas gaseous bioenergy sources in Germany.

Other Parties reported the use of biogas from landfills to generate electricity.

There are currently about 2,000 biogas plants in Germany, the majority operated by farmers.

Four Parties proposed projects targeting the use of landfill waste water biogas for energy generation.

Renewable energy technologies supported include solar water heating, photovoltaics, biogas, wind power, small hydro installations, and landfill methane recovery.

To promote campaigns on the responsible consumption of ecologically feasible products and the use of clean technologies (for example, biogas).

Besides commercial fertilizers and food waste, biogas plants increasingly process energy crops such as cereals, maize (whole plants) and grass.

Then we would have an anaerobic digester, which could deal with all the biodegradable waste from the local area, turn that into heat for the greenhouse and electricity to feed back into the grid.

Since late 1996 biogas from the biggest landfill has been collected, a measure which alone is expected to reduce national methane emissions by 10 15 per cent.

Renewable energies include biomass for fuel (wood and straw), biogas, biofuel (bioethanol and biodiesel), electricity cogenerated from sugar cane, solar energy, wind energy, thermal hydroelectricity, and fuel cells.

He has produced some power generators, which we are now doing an experiment in Bangladesh, in two villages where cow manure is producing biogas, which is running these generators.

In addition, in the case of liquid manure undergoing digestion in a biogas facility, for example, nutrient recovery is more efficient and methane emissions and smell are considerably reduced.

Community based revolving funds and innovative approaches making extensive use of indigenous knowledge have been developed in the field of lift irrigation cooperatives, plant nurseries to generate forests, biogas plants and diary schemes.

Many Parties have measures in place that encourage the switching from solid cooking fuels, such as biomass and coal, to cleaner alternative fuels, such as kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas and biogas.

FAO has been instrumental in the creation of the Biogas Network in Latin America, and has supported the establishment of a food crops network that promotes the exchange of germplasm among institutions in the region.

And of course, coalmines are very dangerous places because in some of these coalmines, you get gas. When that gas blows up, people die. So you're producing a biogas out of coal in some mines, but not in others.

Since 1996, when Sri Lanka had established a division on alternative energy within the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Government had undertaken activities on the establishment of fuel wood plantations, use of biogas as transport fuel, industrial heat and electricity generation, and assessments on hydro electricity and solar and wind energy sources.
