11–13 October 2022
English – German
Let’s face it: Individual mobility is moving towards a crisis:
- Rising gasoline prices
- Increasing limitation of certain engine types in urban areas
- High pressure on emissions caused by petrol and diesel engines
All of these limitations are increasingly questioning traditional mobility solutions. This triggers the following questions:
⇨ Where are we heading with combustion engine vehicles?
⇨ Is the shift towards of electronic vehicles really the solution to our challenges in terms of emissions and high fuel prices?
⇨ Are we not shifting our emission problems to other industry sectors – away from the fossil industry and towards the exploitation of rare earth elements?
Natural gas vehicles do not have any of these problems. In fact, they have been a very interesting alternative to diesel or gasoline vehicles for decades now.
The only limitation of this now very advanced and safe technology is the still relatively low number of CNG / natural gas filling stations. And every year there are more and more filling stations popping up, developing a tight net throughout Germany and Europe.
As the biogas sector continues to evolve, the key challenges and opportunities for the industry are becoming increasingly clear. But what will drive the sector in the coming years? A key answer to this question is artificial intelligence (AI). Although often seen as a buzzword, AI is advancing rapidly and has the potential to transform the biogas industry, just as it is transforming many others.
This is why we have chosen to focus our inaugural Biogas Intelligence+ conference on exploring the intersection of AI and biogas. In addition, we will discuss other important emerging issues within the bioenergy sector that deserve more attention.
With rising energy costs and an uncertain future for the energy market, renewable energy sources, including biogas, will play a vital role in the future energy landscape. The Biogas Intelligence+ conference provides a platform to discuss how the biogas sector can adapt and thrive in a post-subsidy world, with strategies that can be applied across different countries and regions.
How can the biogas sector become more profitable and efficient? What role will artificial intelligence (AI) play both in terms of rising energy demand and optimization of biogas plants? How can the industry protect itself from increasing cyber threats? Is decentralisation the key to future growth? And how can the biogas industry contribute more effectively to the circular economy? These are just some of the critical questions that will be explored during the conference.
