Frequently asked
What are the dates and venue for Biogas Info Days?
The current listing points to 27-28 January 2027 at Messe Ulm, Donauhalle, Böfinger Straße 50, 89073 Ulm, Germany. Confirm final dates and opening hours on renergie-allgaeu.de before booking travel.
How do I get from Ulm Hbf to the Donauhalle?
Tram Line 1 runs directly to the Donauhallen/Messe Ulm stop. Validate your ticket before boarding and allow extra time on the first morning. Check the local transport operator for live timetables.
Which airport should I fly into for Biogas Info Days in Ulm?
Memmingen (FMM) is the closest listed gateway at roughly 49 km or 58 minutes by road. Stuttgart (STR) is about 64 km and Munich (MUC) about 132 km. Compare total journey time to Messe Ulm, not just airfare.
Is parking available at Messe Ulm?
On-site lots include P1 VFL (about 400 cars), P2 Stockmahd (about 600 cars) and P4 Festplatz (about 1,200 cars). Confirm current daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site before driving.
Who is Biogas Info Days aimed at?
The programme is aimed at biogas plant operators, farm managers, feedstock suppliers, CHP and upgrading technicians, consultants and project developers. If you are evaluating a new plant, repowering or biomethane injection, the exhibitor floor is relevant; general consumer energy visitors are not the core audience.
Do I need a visa to attend from outside the EU?
Many non-EU visitors need a Schengen business visa. The German missions portal lists the business visa category and information on the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) and ETIAS. Apply through the official portal and allow enough processing time before January 2027.
What language will the sessions be in?
The organiser is based in the Allgäu region of southern Germany, and the programme is likely to be primarily German. Check renergie-allgaeu.de/schedule for session language and ask the organiser whether English materials or translation are available. Do not assume every session is bilingual.
How do I register as a visitor or exhibitor?
Use the organiser's website at renergie-allgaeu.de and follow the registration or contact route published there. The evidence pack does not list ticket prices or exhibitor stand rates, so confirm costs and deadlines directly with the organiser.
What is the weather like in Ulm in late January?
Expect cold winter conditions: daytime highs around 2-5°C and nighttime lows around -4 to 0°C, with rain and occasional snow. Pack insulated layers, waterproof shoes and gloves, and check the forecast before travelling.
Can I combine the fair with a visit to Ulm's old town?
Ulm's old town and the Ulm Minster are in the city centre, a short tram ride from the Donauhallen. If you add a leisure day, check opening hours and Sunday shopping rules; many shops close on Sundays.
Is the event open to farmers who are not yet operating a biogas plant?
The visitor profile includes agricultural professionals and energy crop growers evaluating biogas. Check the registration category with the organiser; if you are planning a first plant, shortlist sessions on feedstock contracts, permitting and plant economics.
Glossary
- Biogas
- The methane-rich gas produced by anaerobic digestion of slurry, manure, crop residues or energy crops; the core technology stream at Biogas Info Days.
- Anaerobic digestion
- The oxygen-free microbial process that converts organic feedstock into biogas and digestate inside a sealed digester tank.
- Feedstock
- Input materials fed into a biogas digester, such as liquid slurry, manure, maize silage, crop residues or organic waste.
- Digestate
- The nutrient-rich residue left after anaerobic digestion, which is stored and spread as a fertiliser or further processed for nutrient recovery.
- CHP (combined heat and power)
- An on-site gas engine that burns biogas to produce electricity and usable heat; CHP maintenance and heat use are recurring topics for plant operators.
- Biomethane
- Upgraded biogas with a high methane content that can be injected into the gas grid or used as vehicle fuel.
- Biogas upgrading
- The process of removing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water from raw biogas to produce biomethane for grid or transport use.
- Energy crops
- Crops grown specifically as biogas feedstock, most commonly maize silage, but also grass or other purpose-grown biomass.
- Slurry
- Liquid manure from livestock, a common and low-cost feedstock for farm-scale biogas plants in southern Germany.
- Repowering
- Upgrading or expanding an existing biogas plant with new engines, digester equipment or upgrading technology to raise output or extend operation.
- EEG (German Renewable Energy Sources Act)
- The Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, the German law that has framed renewable electricity remuneration; biogas operators should confirm current rules at the event rather than rely on old tariff assumptions.
- Donauhalle
- The Messe Ulm hall complex served directly by Tram Line 1; the exhibition and event space for Biogas Info Days in Ulm.
- EES
- The EU Entry/Exit System, the digital registration of entry into the Schengen area for travellers crossing an external border; check current requirements before travel.
