Executive Summary
The purpose of this deliverable is to describe the five study tour events held by project partners within the DiBiCoo project. The aim of these study tours was to facilitate networking and business cooperation between European, international and local stakeholders in order to stimulate new biogas projects in the partner countries. Participants got a good overview on the framework conditions in partner countries, had the opportunity to meet local decision makers and were introduced to potential biogas project sites.
Due to the COVID pandemic, two of the five study tours were organised virtually. The first study tour was held virtually by the Austrian partner AKBOE on 7 October 2021 on biogas and on 18 November 2021 on gasification. The second study tour was held physically by FVB in Germany on 11 & 12 November 2021, followed by the Steering Committee Meeting. The third study tour was held in hybrid format in South Africa on 22 & 24 March 2022 and was organised by GREENCAPE. The fourth study tour introduced biogas plants in Argentina and was organised by INTA as virtual event on 29 April 2022. The fifth and final study tour was held in Indonesia on 31 May 2022, followed by the Steering Committee Meeting.
Prior to all the events, they were promoted through the channels of the biogas associations and other partners as well as through different social media platforms.
A total of 146 participants attended the study tours live. From these 146, 70 participants attended online, while 76 attended the onsite events. Additionally, the recordings of the virtual study tours were uploaded to the DiBiCoo Youtube channel, where they generated several hundreds of views.
All recordings of the virtual study tours are and will remain available on the YouTube channel to provide knowledge to interested parties even after the DibiCoo project and thus support a sustainable energy transition.
