The FABbiogas national contact points offer free Advisory Services for companies interested in biogas production from Food and Beverage Industry waste. Please contact following persons if you are interested in:
- basic potential assessment (biogas yields from arising waste streams)
- basic economic feasibility (profit from biogas production, estimations on investment costs)

IEE project GREENFOODS: virtual energy competence centres – VECC
The VECC of the GREENFOODS project offers free advisory services generally on the topic of energy efficiency in the European food and beverage industry. If you’re interested in the virtual energy competence centers please write an email to your national contact point:
National contact points
The offered Advisory Service provided basic calculations on potential assessment (biogas yield from arising waste streams), economic feasibility (profit from biogas production, estimations on investment and running costs) and technological feasibility (installed el. capacity, plant size). Topics discussed at such advisory services were:
· Free capacities of nearby waste treatment plants (and actualisation of maps)
· Possible substrate providers (and actualisation of maps)
· Financial information and funding
· Financing of modernisation and expansion of existing biogas plants
· Discussion of possible usage of food wastes
· Discussion of logistical problems such as storage of substrates, usage of digestate
· Discussion of branch-specific problems (anaerobic digestion of substrates, storage of substrates, usage of industrial waste water)
· Biogas potential of branch-specific substrates and discussion about co-substrates
· Lack of specialists
· Invitations to FABbiogas awareness-raising events
