'10:00 '10:30 Germany : "The future role of biogas in the energy supply system" Bernd Krautkremer, Director Bioenergy System Technologies, Fraunhofer Institute, Germany The presentation will present the results of projects (closed and ongoing) in which the role of biogas in a 100% renewable electrical power supply is examined. The potential of biogas for this task will be discussed as well as the consequences for the technology (demand oriented biogas production, interaction with the gas grid, other methane sources). With these projects, funded by the German government, Germany is preparing the transition of a subsidies based sector to market orientation. '10:30 '11:00 Italy : Europe's fastest growing market. Michael Niederbacher, Board Member, Consorzio Italiano Bio-Gas, Italy With the most favourable feed-in tariff regime in Europe today, Italy is considered by many to be Europe's fastest growing biogas market. The presentation will focus on 1) the framework conditions underpinning this rapid growth with an analysis of policy measures to manage market growth and 2) creating incentives to encourage local innovation and local technology development faced with strong competition from arriving technological leaders (Germany / Austria). In other words, how to strike the balance between accessing the best of breed whilst at the same time fostering an environment to encourage and stimulate local entrepreneurs. 11:00 11:30 Coffee Break / Business Meetings '11:30 '12:00 Sweden : A national policy for the production, distribution and use of biogas Urban Kärrmarck, Energy Analysis Department, Swedish Energy Agency, Sweden Commissioned by the Swedish Governrment, the Swedish Energy Agency will publish in August a new National Strategy for the development of the biogas sector.
