    Goals / Remit

    Fachverband Biogas e.V. (FvB, German Biogas Association) unites operators, manufacturers and planners of biogas plants, representatives from science and research and all those interested in the biogas industry. Since its establishment in 1992, the association has become Europe’s most powerful organization in the field of biogas with more than 4,800 members. Fachverband Biogas campaigns for the increased use of biogas technology through political lobbying at EU, national and state level. Furthermore, it encourages the exchange of biogas-related information and knowledge, for instance through collecting, evaluating and spreading knowledge of scientific findings and practical experience, or by means of conferences, exhibitions and other events. Fachverband Biogas aims at expanding and promoting biogas production in Germany in order to provide for a safe, sustainable and decentral energy provision.

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
