Partners of the world's leading trade fair

With over 4,700 members, the BIOGAS Association is the largest German and European organisation representing the interests of the biogas industry. It brings together and represents the interests of substrate suppliers, plant planners, plant manufacturers, biogas plant operators, energy suppliers, science and administration at national and international level.

The aim of the association's work is to expand biogas production and utilisation for the supply of electricity, heat and fuel, for Germany as a business location and for effective climate protection. The expansion of site-adapted biogas production is intended to ensure a secure, sustainable, decentralised energy supply adapted to regional contexts with positive environmental effects.

The BIOGAS trade association creates national and international platforms for the exchange of opinions and knowledge and pools the expertise thus formed by coordinating the industry players.

The Power Systems Association in the German Engineering Federation is the information and communication platform for manufacturers of

• engine systems
• Thermal turbines and power plants
• Hydropower plants
• Wind energy plants
• Storage and sector coupling technologies

on all topics relating to these sectors.

It represents the interests of manufacturers of decentralised energy systems such as combined heat and power plants and stationary gas engines for use in the food industry or the building industry, for example.
