concept envisaged to encourage and promote all possible synergies over
the entire spectrum of new energy technologies. A significant part of the exhibition
– within the sector b>>energy - was devoted to biogas respectively bio-methane.
The conference, entitled “Second bio-methane day – The European projects
SEBE and GreenGasGrids”, was organized by the following important institutions

SEBE 6
The "SEBE" programme, financed by Central Europe Programme, is a project that
encourages transnational cooperation in order to improve innovation, accessibility
and the environment in Central Europe and to enhance the competitiveness of its
cities and regions. "SEBE" aims at a coordinated further development of biogas
utilization, technology and transnational competence knowledge. The various
operating environments (legal, economical and logistical, technical), shortages on
qualified and specialized human resources (planning, operation, support and
maintenance) as well as several regional factors (e.g. available resources, logistics,
