Poland is developing into an attractive growth market for green gases. Biomethane, biogas and green hydrogen in particular are gaining importance due to European climate policy, increasing energy security requirements and growing decarbonisation needs in industry, transport and the energy sector.

From 26 to 30 October 2026, an Energy Trade Mission to Poland will take place as part of the German Energy Solutions Initiative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The mission will focus on the production of green gases, especially biomethane and green hydrogen. It offers German companies structured access to the Polish market and supports them in establishing concrete business contacts.

Participating companies will receive a dedicated target market analysis, an on-site briefing on market conditions and regulatory frameworks, and the opportunity to present their technologies to a Polish expert audience at a specialist conference in Warsaw. The programme will be complemented by individually prepared B2B meetings with potential partners, customers, project developers and other relevant market stakeholders.

The trade mission is particularly aimed at German technology providers, plant manufacturers, component suppliers as well as engineering and EPC service providers in the fields of biomethane, biogas upgrading, power-to-gas, electrolysis, hydrogen-ready gas applications, measurement, control and safety technology, and digital plant optimisation.

The Energy Trade Mission is organised by eclareon GmbH in cooperation with the German-Polish Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Poland) as part of the German Energy Solutions Initiative.

On 20 April 2026, eclareon co-hosted the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue Evening Reception at Fraunhofer ENIQon the EUREF-Campus in Berlin, together with Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energie e.V. (BEE) and BSW – Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e. V. The event brought together key voices from across the energy transition community for an evening of dialogue, networking and exchange.

Together with friends as well as former, current, and long-standing business partners, this special occasion was celebrated in a festive atmosphere. The evening provided an opportunity for personal encounters, inspiring conversations, and a shared look back on 25 years of company history.

The anniversary stands for a quarter century of dedicated work, trusted collaboration, and a steadily growing network. Above all, however, it is an occasion to thank all those who have accompanied, supported, and helped shape eclareon along the way. As was emphasized during the celebration: eclareon has always been about teamwork!

We would like to sincerely thank all guests who celebrated this evening with us and made it such a special occasion.

New Study Assesses Progress on Renewable Energy Permitting Across Europe
eclareon is pleased to announce the publication of a new study evaluating progress in streamlining permit‑granting procedures for renewable energy projects across the EU. Commissioned by DG ENER, the study examines Member States’ implementation of Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2577, its prolongation (Council Regulation (EU) 2024/223), as well as the permitting provisions set out in the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED). It further quantifies the impact of these measures on accelerating permitting processes across Europe.

Conducted in cooperation with Trinomics, the analysis reviews national administrative procedures in selected Member States and explores the use of key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor progress in both permitting acceleration and renewable energy deployment. Drawing on an extensive assessment of existing and planned KPIs, combined with a literature review and stakeholder interviews, the study proposes a harmonised KPI framework to support consistent and transparent monitoring at national and EU level.

With the webinar “Bioenergy in Japan: Technologies, Market and Perspectives”, eclareon GmbH, together with AHK Japan, brings the Japanese bioenergy market into focus. The online event will take place on 18 March 2026 from 09:00 to 10:30 and is aimed at companies in the bioenergy sector seeking to gain an early and well-founded understanding of opportunities, requirements and developments in the Japanese market.

The 90-minute webinar provides a structured overview of the market environment in Japan. The focus will be on current market potential, regulatory frameworks and technological needs. The programme will be complemented by practical contributions as well as the opportunity to ask individual questions about the Japanese target market and the next steps towards possible market entry.

For German suppliers, the Japanese market offers interesting points of entry along the bioenergy value chain. Particularly relevant at present are solutions in the fields of biogas, biomethane, waste-to-energy, solid biomass and bio-to-X. At the same time, successful market entry requires a solid understanding of regulatory requirements, including sustainability standards for biomass imports, certification requirements and the evolving funding landscape.

Particular attention is being paid to Hokkaido, which is increasingly establishing itself as a model region for integrated bioenergy and hydrogen projects. This opens up additional cooperation and business opportunities for German companies offering technological solutions for rural areas and sustainable energy systems. The webinar provides a sound basis for this and supports companies in assessing market opportunities at an early stage.

In thematic terms, the webinar is linked to the Energy Business Trip to Japan planned for 22 to 26 June 2026, while at the same time being deliberately designed as a standalone information format. It is therefore suitable both for companies with a concrete interest in participating in the business trip at a later stage and for companies wishing to explore the Japanese market in a more systematic way first.

Registration is open until 17 March 2026. Interested companies are invited to take this opportunity to gain concise, practical and targeted insights into the bioenergy market in Japan and to prepare their next steps in internationalisation on a sound basis.

Please find the registration link for the webinar here: Participation in the online event.

As part of the Export Initiative Energy of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, the energy business trip “Innovative Bioenergy for Hokkaido – German Solutions for Japan’s Rural Regions” will be conducted in Japan in June 2026. The trip is aimed at German companies in the bioenergy sector, particularly those offering solutions in the fields of biogas, biomethane, waste-to-energy, solid biomass, and bio-to-X technologies.

Japan is pursuing ambitious climate and energy policy objectives and is increasingly investing in sustainable energy supply systems, especially in rural areas. Against the backdrop of stringent regulatory requirements, a changing support and funding landscape, and growing demand for technologically mature and sustainable solutions, attractive business opportunities are emerging for German providers across the entire bioenergy value chain. A special focus is placed on the region of Hokkaido, which is increasingly establishing itself as a model region for integrated bioenergy and hydrogen projects.

The aim of the business trip is to enable German companies to enter the Japanese market in a targeted manner or to expand their existing market activities. Participants will receive well-founded insights into market structures, regulatory frameworks, and current investment projects. The program includes a technical conference with pitching formats, company and project visits, as well as individually prepared cooperation meetings with relevant Japanese market stakeholders in Tokyo and Hokkaido. The trip is complemented by comprehensive on-site support and expert guidance.

The organization and implementation of the energy business trip will be carried out in close cooperation with the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (AHK Japan) and eclareon GmbH.

Pre-departure Webinar for Market Preparation:

To provide content-related preparation and early information for interested companies, a thematic webinar on the target market Japan will be held prior to the business trip. The webinar offers a structured overview of market potential, regulatory requirements, technological needs, and specific business opportunities in the bioenergy sector, and also serves as an introduction to the business trip. Participation in the webinar is expressly recommended and provides an initial opportunity to assess and refine your market strategy.

If you have any questions or are interested in participating in this energy business trip and the webinar, please contact Danilo Urbschat (du@eclareon.com).
