At this seminar, a representative from PlanET, a leading company in the biogas renewable energy sector in Germany, was invited to explain the current status of biogas production technology development and research trends.

The Naju City Council’s ‘Naju RE100 Energy Self-Reliant Village Research Group’ also visited advanced sites in Germany in May to explore cases of biogas energy utilization.

Research group members Kim Haewon and Kim Gwanyong, who attended the international seminar, shared the results of their overseas study tour and engaged in active discussions to present related policy status and directions with other local governments.

Councilor Kim Haewon said, “The odor problem caused by livestock manure is not limited to Naju but is a common challenge for cities and counties throughout the province,” adding, “Through the activities of the RE100 Energy Self-Reliant Village research group, I hope that active exchanges with other local governments will continue, enabling Naju City and Jeollanam-do to take the lead in livestock manure resource utilization and bioenergy technology development.”
