agreement includes support in economic, technical and legal issues in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable energy sources for heating and cooling systems and waste heat, among others. Moreover, the energy experts offer their skills in the development of funding instruments and consultancy programmes
the most towards realising the energy transition? One example of the use of fed-in biogas is in combined heat and power generation (CHP). In this scenario, the gas is used both for generating heat as well as electricity. However, there is potential for improvement in this area of value creation, and [...] for biogas feed-in, dena sent out a signal to initiate optimisation processes. By bringing together major players from industry, the sciences, and society on the platform, industry-specific know-how is consolidated. The Biogas Partnership is based on three core points. Firstly, transparency; the range [...] manifold — apart from use in CHP installations, applications deserving mention include its use in natural gas vehicles, heating applications, or using it as a raw material in the chemical industry. In this respect, business models that are as profitable as they are ecologically compatible are possible. With
Industry standard for biogas The challenge was as follows: The use of biomethane is subsidised by the government in a number of different ways, such as via the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) for electricity production, via the Renewable Heating Act (EEWärmeG) for heat production, or via the European [...] trade and use of biomethane as easy as possible, dena developed the biogas register together with 14 leading companies from the biogas and biomethane industry. With its help, biomethane producers can verify the quantity and quality of biomethane in the natural gas network — from production to consumption [...] biogas register went online in February 2011, it has received a warm welcome from all involved parties. With the register, it was possible to create an industry standard valid all over Germany. Trade partners and end consumers can rely on this, which increases their trust in biomethane producers and promotes
The geea is a cross-industry alliance of companies, associations and organisations in the field of construction and energy. The alliance currently consists of about 30 partners. It thus bundles the expertise and positions of leading providers from the building and energy industries, trades and science [...] energy-efficient building refurbishment. One of the geea’s central tasks is to give the various industry players – such as systems technology manufacturers, the trades, the insulation and window industry and so on – a unified voice in front of policymakers. After all, the success of a holistic energy [...] the building sector, buildings in Germany must become significantly more energy efficient, for example through measures on the building shell and heating. Together with the use of climate-neutral fuels and renewable energies, large amounts of previously fossil primary energy could be saved. But a clear
in regard to their energy systems. While some countries have already achieved very high shares of renewable energy sources in the electricity and heating market, others are still lagging behind. We therefore see great potential in sharing this know-how on a transnational scale. REPORT: Status and [...] Federation. The report presents the current status of renewable energy in all sectors and provides a comprehensive overview of the infrastructure, industry, political conditions, market development and investments in the selected countries. UNECE Hard Talks As part of the project, a series of so-called
