Executive Summary
In the frame of the DiBiCoo project, ten capacity building training courses in target countries (Argentina, Ethiopia, Indonesia, South Africa and Ghana) were organised. These capacity building training courses were focused on biogas project development.
The trainings’ main goal was to set the stage for the commercialization of biogas technologies. Lecturers from the consortium and/or specially invited outside speakers instructed the courses. Each training’s material was to be adjusted in accordance with the unique requirements of the target nation. The topics of the training courses included: how to set up a biogas project, planning issues including permits, overall plant design, feedstock management, digestate management, conversion technology, use of the biogas, plant operation and safety, financing and business models for biogas plants, risks, and financing and business models for biogas plants, depending on the target audience of the training courses (planners, potential plant operators, industries, decision makers, policy makers, financing institutes).
This document gives a close look at the content of these capacity building training courses. In total, 475 attendees participated in these 10 capacity building training courses. Half of the trainings were held virtually, another half on site. Most of the participants are plant operators, project developers, policy makers, extensionist, researchers and public.
