Welcome to the COASTAL Biogas Newsletter

COASTAL Biogas is an Interreg South Baltic Programme project, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and coordinated by FNR, Germany. The project focusses on the removal of nutrients from the Baltic Sea by collecting cast seaweed to counteract eutrophication. The collected seaweed is used as co-substrate in anaerobic digestion and the digestate as an organic fertiliser.

COASTAL Biogas report on potential and policy frameworks

The report contains an estimation of the potential of cast seaweed in the territory covered by the Interreg South Baltic Programme.  In addition, policy frameworks related to the use of seaweed, as a potential feedstock for green energy production and digestate utilisation, as well as regulations on establishing biogas plants in DE, DK, LT, PL and SE have been compiled in the report.

Project partner

Last November Rostock University (UROS) celebrated its 600th anniversary. With the motto “Traditio et Innovatio” it offers a wide range of study courses – from medicine to engineering to agricultural and natural sciences. The university has been the starting point for numerous research institutes and companies in the region.

In the COASTAL Biogas project the University’s Department of Waste and Resource Management collects information on the conditions for the project’s concept in Germany and provides support for dissemination.
