Catalogue of additional region-specific bottom-up Community biogas interventions

The scope of this document is to extend beyond the already identified and mobilised regional biogas communitiesas ISABEL aims to identify new and additional promising bottom-up intervention cases by following a different approach.The above have been catalogued as additional region-specific bottom-up Community Biogas Intervention cases catalysed by local communities of the three regions through the support of the ISABEL team.

Overall it is about cataloguing new and prospective community biogas initiatives using creative ideas and innovation. It also outlines the new approaches used to develop the new initiatives using various community engagement strategies and presents the relevant case studies from Germany, UK and Greece. The case studies throw light on the socio-economic condition including the geo-political picture of the landscape that have been instrumental in creating new initiatives and in some instances created new challenges which require creative approaches for developing localised solutions. Often the strategy involved a combination of approaches from exploratory research, following up warm leads, snowballing to eventual stakeholder mapping to map out the relevant stakeholders and the role they play in the process of developing the engagement.
