DBFZ Development, Mission, Structure Development: Founded on 28 th February 2008 in Berlin as gemeinnützige GmbH Sole shareholder: Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) By the end of 2013: constant expansion of headcount and infrastructure Mission: The key scientific mission of the DBFZ is to provide wide-ranging support for the efficient integration of biomass as a valuable resource for sustainable energy supply based on applied scientific research. Structure: About 200 employees until 12/2014 in the administration and the four research departments. General Management: Prof. Dr. mont. Michael Nelles (scientific) Daniel Mayer (administrative) Fig.: DBFZ 3
Research focus areas and structure The four research focus areas Sustainability / Sustainability assessment Innovative energy sources Demand driven technologies and master concepts for the supply of energy Monitoring Organizational structure: the four research departments Applied class research along the entire supply chain 4
Biomass potentials for biogas generation in Brazil Manure (high density of svine and poultry in south Brazil, Santa Katarina, Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul) Ruminants mostly grazing or in feedlots (high sediment content) Slaughterhouse wastes Vegetable, fruit and juice industry wastes Wastes from Cereal, soybean and further threshed crops (grain impurities, straw) Wastes and waste waters from breweries, wine and soft drink industry Municipal organic wastes and waste waters Wastes from sugar cane industry 5
