The second webinar of the BioPart Project took place online via Zoom on February 25, 2025. Around 56 participants from academia, companies from the biogas, manufacturing and agricultural sectors as well as governmental organisations and various other stakeholders gathered for the event.
This virtual webinar focused on exploring the challenges, drivers, and barriers facing biogas/biomethane sector development in Sweden, Poland, and Ukraine. The webinar brought together experts and stakeholders to delve into the diverse landscape of biogas production in these three countries. The insights shared on the current status, alongside with regulatory, financial, and technological hurdles, were truly enlightening. Participants showed great interest and active engagement as expressed in the Q&A session.
The main presenters were:
- Konrad Smolarczyk (Biogas Solutions Research Center, Linköping University) presented insights into the Swedish biogas sector.
- Michal Tarka (Polish Biomethane Organisation) addressed the drivers and barriers impacting development in Poland.
- Yurii Matveev (Bioenergy Association of Ukraine) shared perspectives on the Ukrainian biogas landscape.
The workshop concluded with a lively discussion focused on the joint barriers and drivers faced in the Baltic region and how collaborative efforts can overcome them. Participants discussed differences regarding financial support and other policy issues between the participating countries, but also the technical infrastructure that varies a lot.
The Project Team want to thank all the participants for their contribution to the diskussions. This workshop was a crucial step towards fostering knowledge exchange and cross-border cooperation to advance biogas solutions in the Baltic Sea Region. The project team is currently analysing the valuable input gathered during the workshop, and a summary report will be made available on the project website soon.
