The name IBBK stands for ‘International Biogas and Bioenergy Competence Center‘.

2000:

The IBBK Biogas Group was founded by Dipl. Agrarian Michael Köttner, the former head and co-founder of the ‘Fachverband Biogas.e.V‘ (1991 – 2000).

Based on the already long-standing biogas experience of Michael Köttner, IBBK’s main activity was in consultancy, where his expertise was applied to feasibility studies and research projects.

2001:

The non-profit association FnBB (German Biogas and Bioenergy Society) was affiliated to IBBK. The task of the association is to support IBBK in the field of charitable projects and lobbying

2004:

The demand for training for the young biogas industry grew rapidly. National, and from 2009, international training courses were developed and offered

2012:

IBBK Fachgruppe Biogas GmbH, and other well-known and established training providers in the field of renewable energies, joined the ‘Schulungsverbund BIOGAS‘

2015:

The state of Land Baden-Württemberg and EU ELER commissioned IBBK to provide independent consulting to biogas operators on planned and existing biogas plants. This consultancy is subsidised by the EU at 50 %.

IBBK also won the second installment of this commissioned consultancy in 2018. The subsidy has been increased to 80 %.

The current training courses have been advanced on the three levels of demand:

Established = Biogas #INTENSIV | Aspiring = Biogas #HANDS ON | Emerging = Biogas #TRAINING
In addition to the feasibility studies, the independent consultations for planned and existing facilities, according to the consulting mandate of the State of Baden-Württemberg, are increasingly offered today.
The second pillar are EU-funded research projects, which are being carried out in partnership with universities and organisations in Europe.
