Grüngas24, the specialist congress on the topic of renewable gases, will take place this year from December 4th to 6th at the WIFI St. Pölten. Due to the 20th anniversary of the annual biogas congress of the Austrian Compost & Biogas Association (KBVÖ), the topic area will be expanded this year to include the topics of hydrogen and wood gas. Together with Green Gas Service GmbH and the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce, an exciting program with 3 days of concentrated work on renewable gases was prepared.
The specialist congress will particularly focus on the opportunities but also the challenges of the renewable gases industry. While many measures are being taken at the European level as part of the European Commission’s Green Deal to strengthen the expansion of renewable energies, unfortunately the signs at the national level are currently at a standstill. Lack of laws such as the reform of the Electricity Industry and Organization Act (ElWOG), requirements to accelerate approval procedures (EABG) and especially the Renewable Gas Act (EGG) cause a lack of understanding.
Nevertheless, there is agreement within the industry that in the future it will play an important role in renewable energy supply, strengthening the import independence of fossil resources and regional value creation. In order to maintain and further strengthen the competitiveness of the “green economy” in Austria, to avoid expensive fines due to missed climate targets and to secure Austria’s pioneering role in the area of ”renewables” – including in the area of renewable gases – far-reaching measures are needed in a timely manner Setting the course. It is therefore all the more important that the industry tackles the current and future challenges together and uses a strong voice to demand that the future federal government take the necessary steps. With this in mind, we are pleased to cordially invite you to our annual conference in 2024, to bring the industry together and to offer an important platform for exchange.
This year you can once again expect top-class lectures, around 40 specialist exhibitors and 400 other visitors to exchange ideas and network about the current challenges.
Day 1 (December 4, 2024) will be opened by State Governor Mag. Johanna Mikl-Leitner and KommR Wolfgang Ecker, President of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce, and will be dedicated to the topics of hydrogen, biomethane from thermochemical conversion and CO2.
Days 2 (5.12.24) and 3 (6.12.24) revolve around biogas and biomethane from anaerobic digestion. After the opening speeches by Federal Minister Mag. Norbert Totschnig, Mag. Bernhard Gerhardinger, Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce and Biogas Chairman of the Compost and Biogas Association, Norbert Hummel, this year’s industry meeting starts with the following focuses:
