Shaping the future

Munich - Last Wednesday, Jens Eberlein, Managing Director of BayWa r.e. Green Energy Products GmbH, a subsidiary of BayWa r.e., was elected to the board of the German association Biogasrat+ e.V.

The trade association, Biogasrat+ e.V., which was founded in 2009, unites the leading companies in the biogas industry and represents the entire biogas and biomethane value chain. The aim of the association is to secure the place of biofuels in the energy mix of the future, whilst also helping the ecological modernisation of the economy, as well as improving legal, economic and political conditions. With these objectives in mind, the association promotes changes in the marketplace in the interests of its members and offers consultancy services in relation to this.

The appointment to the board of the Biogas Association means that BayWa r.e. is now represented on the board of three of the main German lobbying organisations for the green energy market. The other two industry bodies are the German Wind Energy Association (BWE) and the German Solar Industry Association (BSW). Matthias Taft, Chairman of the Management Board of BayWa r.e., was delighted with the nomination: \"As a project developer and supplier of systems and services we are continually extending our portfolio and now rank among Europe\'s leading renewables companies. Membership of the Biogas Association\'s board acknowledges our technical and business acumen as well as the pioneering progress we have made in the way we supply Germany with bioenergy.\"

\"I would like to thank my colleagues for voting for me and I look forward to strengthening our sector and using this position to actively shape the energy transition,\" Mr Eberlein announced on his acceptance of the appointment. \"The Biogas Association provides a central point of contact for all the needs of the biogas sector, and together we will continue working to ensure biomethane remains an important part of the energy switch-over,\" he concluded.

Jens Eberlein joined the BayWa Group at the start of 2011 and since 2012 has managed the activities of the energy trading company BayWa r.e. Group. Prior to that, Mr Eberlein, a graduate business manager and trained banker, was in charge of the energy procurement division of a southern German energy service provider and worked as a consultant for various corporate consultancies.
