Dear Tom, the current status on anaerobic digestion in Europe is not to be explained in one sentence. Perhaps one aspect is vital, that there is a minimum price system necessary to insure a stable renuneration for the operation of the biogas plant. In all the countries which have that, the number of biogas plants especially in the agricultural sector is increasing; in Germany by about 400 last year. The conference itself has been held for the second time in a sucession of 7 months and took place with about 100 international and national participants. Proceedings are available. Best greetings to Oregon. Michael Köttner P.S.: I have written a report on the current situation of biogas for agriculture and industry in Europe and will send it on request. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Miles" <tmiles@trmiles.com> To: <digestion@crest.org> Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 8:19 PM Subject: DIG-L: Biogas International 2002, Belin Jan 17-19 > Biogas International 2002 was held recently in Berlin.
