As an Agricultural Biologist and as a trained farmer, I am professionally involved in Biogas and Bioenergy Technology for more than 25 years. My portfolio ranges from professional services as a scientist and farmer in USA and South Africa to being a founding member and CEO (1992 – 2000) of German Biogas Association. Since 2000 I am the managing director of the International Biogas and Bioenergy Center of Competence (IBBK Fachgruppe Biogas GmbH) and Vice-President of the German Biogas and Bioenergy Society, GERBIO/FnBB e.V.. The main focus of my work is consulting and training in the field of industrial and small scale decentralized biogas technology in a regional, national and international context.
