DiBiCoo is a cooperation project between biogas technology exporting and importing countries, with the overall objective to support the European biogas/biomethane industry by preparing markets for the import of sustainable biogas/biomethane technologies from Europe to developing and emerging countries.

This will be achieved by the development and application of innovative digital and non-digital support tools and actions, by knowledge transfer and capacity building as well as by the preparation of demo cases up to the investment stage. The project aims to increase the share of renewable energies, both in Europe and in importing countries.

The project held its kick-off meeting in Brussels, on October 30 & 31, 2019 in the presence of representatives from 13 participating organizations across four continents.

More specifically, the project aims to:

• Facilitate cooperation among relevant stakeholders in the biogas industry from Europe, with stakeholders from developing and emerging countries.
•  
• Share information on available European technologies as well as on the framework conditions, market opportunities, research needs, financing opportunities and project ideas in the importing countries.
•  
• Develop digital and non digital support tools for Capacity Building, Networking and an Online Information System to facilitate technology exports and act as a database for interested stakeholders.
•  
• Support the development of at least five biogas projects in target countries as “demo cases” up to, or close to the investment stage.
•  
• Promote and remove national, regional and local policies, supporting further market uptake in the target countries by means of developing and disseminating best practices.
