Retrospective on the seminar on the long term perspective of renewable gas production in the Netherlands

On October 3rd, Platform Hernieuwbare Brandstoffen hosted a seminar together with Platform Groen Gas on the long term perspective on renewable gas production in the Netherlands. The seminar took place at the Oba in Amsterdam and gathered 45 participants with interest in the topic. The goal of the event was to discuss and gather inputs for innovation and regulations to realize a long term perspective for renewable gas production in the Netherlands.

For a detailed summary of the presentations as well as the innovation and regulation inputs gathered during the seminar see the document on the right hand side.
