INTRODUCTION
BIOSURF is an EU-funded project under the Horizon 2020 programme for research, technological
development and demonstration.
The objective of BIOSURF (BIOmethane as SUstainable and Renewable Fuel) is to increase the
production and use of biomethane (from
animal waste, other waste materials and
sustainable biomass), for grid injection
and as transport fuel, by removing non-
technical barriers and by paving the way
towards a European biomethane market.
The BIOSURF consortium consists of 11
partners from 7 countries (Austria,
Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary,
Italy and United Kingdom), covering a
large geographical area, as indicated in
the figure on the left.
The intention of the project is:
To analyse the value chain from
production to use, based on territorial,
physical and economic features
(specified for different areas, i.e., biofuel for transport, electricity generation, heating &
cooling);
To analyse, compare and promote biomethane registering, labelling, certification and trade
practices in Europe, in order to favour cooperation among the different countries and cross
border markets on the basis of the partner countries involved;
To address traceability, environmental criteria and quality standards to reduce GHG
emissions and indirect land-use change (ILUC), as well as to preserve biodiversity and to
assess the energy and CO2 balance;
To identify the most prominent drivers for CO2-emissions along the value chain as an input
for future optimization approaches and to exchange information and best practices all
across Europe with regard to biomethane policy, regulations, support schemes and
technical standards.

1. DISSEMINATION, EXPLOITATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
AND TOOLS
This section assesses the completion and/or impact of the project’s dissemination activities,
communication tools and methods vis-à-vis stakeholders, other groups that fall within the
biomethane supply chain or who have an interest in encouraging biomethane production, and the
wider public.
1.1 Visual Identity
A visual identity manual, including guidelines regarding logo elements, the project’s colours, the
structure of design products, templates and fonts to use, was submitted in April 2015 as an annex
to D8.1 and subsequently distributed to BIOSURF’s partners. It has been available since then on
the project’s Dropbox. The nine templates designed, along with the logo, were used consistently
and correctly throughout the project.
1.2 Project Website
The BIOSURF website (www.biosurf.eu) went online in April 2015. The site, which is updated on a
regular basis with news, deliverables, results and events, featuresa general descriptionof the
project, a section with links and contact information for the partners, a section with all public project
deliverables, a section for news and events, a section with links to other biogas projects, a section
featuring the various country networks, with separate subsections for each country, and a section
containing detailed information on European and national regulatory frameworks. Most of the top-
level pages (Home, About Us, Partners, National Networks, Regulatory Frameworks) and relevant
subsections, such as those related to each country’s national network and legal framework, are
translated into four languages (German, French, Italian, and Hungarian). The project’s
deliverables, as well as information/results related to its workshops, are published in the
Downloads and Deliverables section. The downloads section also features links to BIOSURF-
related scientific publications. The regulatory frameworks section plus the downloads and
deliverables sections constitute the online repository for the project. It was organised in this way,
rather than as a single, separate repository, in order to make it easier for users to find materials on
specific topics. The site uses a responsive design enabling a seamless browsing experience from
various portable devices.
The website will be maintained for at least one yearafter the end of the project. Website traffic was monitored using Google Analytics. Following is an analysis of the site’s traffic over the past year.

www.biosurf.eu Page 6 of 36 This project has received funding from
the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
under grant agreement no. 646533.
There was a total of 12,600 page views over the past year, and most people who visited the site went to the home page and the downloads and deliverables section. Other popular pages were “About BIOSURF”, “Partners”, and “News”. Traffic peaked over the summer and in early fall. The peak in the summer may have been due to the July 2017 newsletter, while the fall traffic was likely the result of the Power-to-methane workshop in early September (please see section 1.10 on European Transferability for details).

1.3 Project Leaflet
A project leaflet (4 pages) was produced in English and in the other languages of the BIOSURF countries (German, Italian, Hungarian and French) in month 5, with 1,000 copies per language. The leaflet was used to generate interest about the project among the key target groups. At least 900 leaflets were distributed at BIOSURF events and workshops, as well as at third-party events. The leaflet is available for download in the Deliverables area of the website under “Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication”.
1.4 Project Postcard
A project postcard (900 copies per language) was designed and printed in English. It was originally planned to translate the postcard into the other four BIOSURF languages, but given that there was virtually no text, it made more sense to produce the postcard only in English, with the slogan, “Fuelling Biomethane”. The project postcard, which contains the logo, the web address and a short slogan, was distributed at BIOSURF and third-party events to approximately 700 people. The postcard is available for download in the Deliverables area of the website under “Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication”.
1.5 Roll-Up
One project roll-up was created to display at conferences, exhibitions, workshops and other events. The roll up was produced in English, French, German, Hungarian and Italian. It is estimated that around 815 people in total saw the roll-up over the course of the project. Broken down by event, around 300 people saw the roll-up at the EBA Conference in 2016, 70 and then 60 people saw it at the two workshops in 2017, 165 saw it at the Malmo workshop, 40 at the Netherlands workshop, 60 at the Final Conference, 70 at the biomethane workshop in 2015, and 50 at the workshop in Romania. The roll up is available for download in the Deliverables area of the website under “Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication”.
1.6 E-newsletters
Six online newsletters were prepared – one every six months - and disseminated regularly via email during the project. There was an international version of the newsletter produced in English as well as five local versions for the BIOSURF countries (in German for Germany, in German for Austria, in French for France, in Hungarian for Hungary, and in Italian for Italy). The newsletters contained recent news on biomethane markets and on the project. The international version of the newsletter included the articles on the project itself and all English versions of the local news. The local versions of the newsletter offered information on dedicated

project topics as well as on topics from respective project countries, in accordance with their own needs and requirements. The local newsletters also included links (in English) to the news items from the other project countries. All newsletters are available for download in the Deliverables area of the website under “Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication”. Following are the results of the first six newsletters, according to MailChimp.
Newsletter 1: June 2015
The first newsletter, released in June 2015, had much higher open and click rates than the industry
average, and was opened most frequently in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.
Newsletter 2: Dec 2015

Newsletter 6 was released in December 2017 and had somewhat lower click and open rates,
perhaps because of the winter holiday. It was opened the most in Germany and the Netherlands,
followed by Italy.
1.7 Social Media and Other Web Resources
Social media was planned but was not heavily used during the project. A LinkedIn group was created but engagement was very low. It was decided not to use Facebook as this is a channel better suited to very general topics that appeal to a mass audience. While a dedicated Twitter account was not created, EBA’s live-tweeting during BIOSURF events achieved a very high level of engagement, as can be seen in the Twitter analytics (TweetReach) below.

1.8 Media Relations
Media relations were established with articles and four press releases: onewith the establishment of ERGaR, one regarding the Power-to-Methane workshop, oneimmediately following the final conference, and one with the submission of the application for the ERGaRRED scheme to the European Commission. The four press releases were as follows:
“The establishment of the European Renewable Gas Registry (ERGaR)”, published on
5October 2016 on the BIOSURF website:http://www.biosurf.eu/en_GB/press-
release-on-the-establishment-of-the-european-renewable-gas-registry-ergar/

another article of EnergiasRenovables. The final conference was also featured in Bioenergy Insight. In addition, all project partners presented their work to their respective target groups and key actors at the European and national level, in order to enhance networking and communication with them. For details, please see the tables on third-party events in section 2.
1.9 Final Booklet
A final booklet has been produced in order to provide a summary of BIOSURF’s main achievements and recommendations, and to increase the involvement of multipliers and businesses. This booklet was produced in English, and was translated into the other languages of the BIOSURF countries (German, Italian, Hungarian and French). It is available for downloadin the Deliverables area of the website under “Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication”.
1.10 European Transferability
While the project partners were responsible for dissemination and communication within their
respective networks via conferences, seminars, and other events as part of Task 2.2, the
European Transferability aspect of WP8 ensured that BIOSURF was promoted during the course
of the project at a number of European conferences in order to reach a broader international
public. The project partners identified the most suitable conferences dealing with the production
and use of biomethane.
Beyond the consortium partners and networking activities in their home countries (WP2),
BIOSURF addressed several other stakeholders outside the project that showed a strong interest
in biomethane. One way the proper use and transferability of BIOSURF’s results was guaranteed
was through the organisation of three workshops in non-partner countries (in Sweden, Romania,
Czech Republic, Belgium and The Netherlands).
Sweden
A BIOSURF workshop for the promotion of biomethane in Sweden, which was held in Malmo on 12
May 2016, gathered 165 delegates from 24 countries. The main topics regarded the latest
developments on the biogas sector, anaerobic digestion and gasification.

Romania
On 21 February 2017, BIOSURF organised a workshop in Bucharest for the promotion of
biomethane in Romania, with the aim to exploit and disseminate the results of the project outside
its countries. It was attended by more than 50 participants.

These workshops, through the involvement of the main local stakeholders (around 20 participants,
including selected project partners), allowed for the consolidation and exchange of the concepts
and outputs developed by the project (e.g. registries, guarantees of origin, tradable certificates,
sustainability, GHG emissions reduction, etc.).
1.11 Final Conference
A full-day project conference was organised in conjunction with the Bin2Grid project on 24
November 2017 in Brussels, to present the projects’ main achievements, methods and best
practices.Topics of discussion included: cooperation among the national biomethane registries;a
European mass-balancing system for biomethane; the free market biomethane trade; sustainable
raw material supply;the methodology for entitlement to CO2 certificates; regional specificities;
transferability of results beyond project countries; biomethane as a transport fuel;and the
sustainable management of food and beverage waste. This open conference was attended by 60
people. Target groups and stakeholders were represented by 50 people.
Stefano Proietti from ISINNOVA, the coordinator of the BIOSURF project, and Attila Kovacs from
the European Biogas Association (EBA), presented the actions taken to kick-start a cross-border
biomethane trade within European countries. Lorenzo Maggioni from Consorzio Italiano Biogas
(CIB) showcased the creation of a European biomethane market (albeit still in its embryonic
phase). He demonstrated this using the example of the Italian, Austrian and French partners of
BIOSURF, who signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at defining conditions and rules for
the exchange of biomethane Guarantees of Origin.The conference was closed with a series of
policy recommendations by Jan Stambasky, President of EBA, followed by a panel discussion of
experts.

under grant agreement no. 646533.
Through its newsletter, the BIOSURF project reached out to a large audience, focusing on 6
countries: the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Italy. The international edition was read
in most EU countries, thanks to the EBA’s contacts. For each of the six editions, more than 500
recipients read the newsletter.
Media relationsestablished with European bioenergy newspapers, and the press releases sent to
these outlets, allowed for the publication of articles on their websites and increased visibility of the
BIOSURF project.
The BIOSURF workshops held in different EU countries allowed European audiences to discover
more about BIOSURF and the development of biomethane in Europe. The majority of participants
expressed their satisfaction regarding the topics covered during these workshops and the quality of
the presentations and discussions.
The final conference was attended by more than 60 participants, who were very interested in the
results from both projects. The panel of external experts from the biogas and biomethane sectors
and the audience agreed on the great potential of biomethane for the decarbonisation of Europe.
