Kenyan delegation visits Bavaria

Kenyan Delegation Strengthens Exchange with Bavarian Biogas Companies

In early June 2025, a five-member delegation from Kenya visited Bavaria to deepen the exchange between Kenyan and Bavarian biogas companies. The aim was to consolidate existing partnerships, develop new ideas for joint projects, and lay the foundation for sustainable cross-border collaboration.

Delegation profile

The delegation included representatives from the Technical University of Kenya (TU-K) and the managing directors of Green Yard Limited, Flexi Biogas, and GreenLeaf Renewable Energy Ltd. Each participant contributed valuable insights and experiences from research, business practice, and technology development.

Insights at AgriKomp Merkendorf

One of the highlights of the visit was a tour of AgriKomp in Merkendorf. During company presentations and a walk through the production facilities, the guests were introduced to innovative technologies, modular system solutions, and practical implementation strategies. For the Kenyan companies, the opportunity to learn about component manufacturing and international market strategies proved especially insightful.

Visit to Snowleopard Renewable Energy

Equally impressive was the visit to Snowleopard Renewable Energy in Reisbach, a company specializing in sustainable energy systems. Discussions there focused on innovative applications of biogas technologies in international contexts and practical solutions for agricultural operations. The program also included a visit to the BioIN biogas plant near Ingolstadt, which efficiently processes organic household waste and makes a significant ecological contribution.

Technical exchange & networking

Another key part of the trip was the exchange on networking structures within the biogas sector. A presentation by the German Biogas Association on topics such as professional organization and industry collaboration sparked great interest among the delegates. The subsequent discussions provided valuable impulses for future cooperation between academia, industry, and practice.

Outcomes & outlook

The week made one thing clear: the BIOVARYA network thrives on mutual learning and open exchange across technical, economic, and organizational boundaries. Participants not only strengthened existing connections but also discussed concrete ideas for future projects. As a tangible outcome, the Kenyan companies expressed their intention to present their profiles on the project’s website—an important step toward fostering long-term international communication and collaboration.
