2017 International IBBK Biogas Course, Stuttgart, Germany
The program brought together engineers, scientists, postgraduates, project managers, plant constructors, and operators. Renowned experts delivered lectures at the SIMT (Institute for Management and Technology), offering valuable insights into the current operation of biogas production. The academic sessions were enriched with in-depth study tours to five state-of-the-art biogas plants, ranging from biomethane fueling stations to municipal bio-waste digestion facilities. Participants also collected and analyzed digester samples on site and visited the laboratories of the University of Hohenheim for further practical learning.
