The company Alpha Biopower Serbia plans the construction of a large biogas plant in the area of Novi Sad that will work with waste from local slaughterhouses and thus will produce energy as well as an important contribution to environmental protection. Karl Bösl was acquainted with the project :metabolon in Lindlar, through the mediation of the NRW Energy Agency, and he was immediately impressed. In collaboration with the University of Novi Sad, he plans to integrate its biogas plant at a local research park. The first step in this direction was the co-operation agreement between the University of Novi Sad, the Cologne University of Applied Sciences and his company, Alpha Biopower Serbia.
