The coalition committee of the traffic light parties made every effort last week to allay homeowners’ fears of a “heating ban”.

The potential for this may be greater than expected. WELT are exclusively available calculations of the Biogas Association. The result surprised even industry insiders. With almost 10,000 plants, Germany has the largest stock of biogas plants in Europe. WELT explains how great the potential of the neglected fuel is.
