2nd National Feed-In Info Day in France
Introduction
The second French Info Day took place on 21st February 2013 during the great
event on Renewable Energy in Lyon and his specialized zone, “Expo Biogaz”,
completely dedicated to biogas. 160 people, so slightly less than 2102, attended
the 2nd National Feed-In Info Day in France.
Most of the participants came from France and at a lower number from Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and Tunisia.
83 firms, 33 associations, public institutions, universities etc. attended the event.
The recent decrees and ordinances, published at the end of 2011 and during the
first semester of 2012, have created a big interest for the injection of biomethane
into gas grids. Nearly 400 projects of injection are today in instruction by the grid
operators (distribution and transport networks). 2 units are in operation and one
plant is in the construction phase.
Four different workshops were organized and animated by the French Biogas
Association-Club Biogaz. One out of the four workshops focused on biomethane and
the injection in the grid, and the CNG use.
Attendees of the biomethane workshop had the possibility for face-to-face
encounters with representatives of gas suppliers, grid operators, cars and trucks
manufactures, engineering offices, investors and administration.
The programme focused on two issues: conditions of injection and feedback
experiences (morning), and CNV offers (afternoon); please find below more details.
