REGISTRATION INFORMATION

WELCOME

Dear Friends,

In context of the challenges in the global climate protection, the existence of

renewable energies has to be further enhanced. Biogas, in this regard, has to

play an outstanding and useful role. Biogas can be produced by using various

organic substrates and offers a unique opportunities of energy supply and

utilisation.

Additionally, biogas offers a great chance for rural areas in developing countries

like India. Decentralized manner of Biogas utilization in rural areas offers a

significant solution to energy demand. Linked with agricultural residue, it is a

boon to our farmers. So, increasing biogas production and utilisation has

enormous positive effects for economic development and employment in India.

Mahatma Gandhi, in his vision for India, envisaged a system of devolved, self-

sufficient communities, sustaining their needs from the local environment, and

organising income generating ventures around co-operative structures. Sixty

years on, and Gandhi's vision of Swadeshi (self-sufficiency) for India, despite

interpreted by some as a romantic and bucolic notion, is perhaps more urgent

than ever. Diminishing forests, and a burgeoning, mainly rural biomass-

dependent population of billions, necessitates a coordinated effort of rural India

to supply itself with a dependable and sustained source of energy. Biogas can

definitely be thought to cater in this context.

“Current and Emerging Trends in Indian Biogas and Bio-fertilizer Development”

has got the sole motto to promote biogas in a sustainable manner. It aims to

make the biogas production and utilisation to be efficient and effective. It also

would like to depict that biomass production must not lead to conflicts with food

production, the right of food and the protection of environment and nature.

Therefore, it is especially important and valuable to exchange on the recent

progress in biogas production and utilisation on a world scale.

The programme of this convention, which meets these high requirements

welcomes you. You as participants of this convention will receive fruitful

impulses for your own actions. You will learn about, reflect and evaluate other

developments.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. V. K. Vijay Dr. A. R. Shukla Gaurav Kedia
