With the global biogas market estimated at £1trn and energy security, climate change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals driving the need to rapidly increase the uptake of biogas, the World Biogas Association (WBA) has agreed to partner with the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) to showcase the global biogas industry at ADBA’s leading AD & Biogas trade show, which last year was attended by participants from over 50 countries.
UK AD & Biogas and World Biogas Expo 2017 will take place on the 5-6 July at the NEC in Birmingham. This will be the show’s seventh consecutive year, and will consolidate its position as the #1 global trade show for the biogas industry.
The WBA, founded in 2016 at COP22 in Marrakesh to promote and facilitate the growth of the global biogas industry, will develop the global element of the show. Located in the same hall as UK AD & Biogas, World Biogas Expo 2017 will have its own dedicated space, international pavilions and conference area. UK AD & Biogas 2017 will retain its focus on the UK market.
Exhibitors throughout the combined event will be showcasing all the products and services required to commission, build and operate AD plants to produce low-cost, ultra-low-carbon biogas to generate heat and electricity from combined heat and power units, biomethane for the gas grid and for transport, and, for the first time, landfill gas. If you need a renewable, reliable source of energy to power your irrigation systems in Morocco, increase your energy security in Brazil, or heat thousands of new-build houses in the UK, this is the place to come to find out how AD can solve your problem.
AD and landfill operators will be able to discover the latest research and technological innovations emerging from the market, helping to maximise the efficiency and performance of your plant or landfill and ensuring you maintain a competitive advantage.
The one-stop shop for everything biogas, the event will allow attendees from around the world to benefit from the huge opportunities offered by this exciting industry and network with others to share knowledge and best practice.
ADBA Chief Executive Charlotte Morton:
“Last year we expanded UK AD & Biogas to include opportunities for exhibitors and visitors in the most exciting growing global markets for AD and biogas, with delegations and visitors from over 50 countries.
“As the meeting point and hub of both the UK and global AD industries, this year’s expanded UK AD & Biogas and World Biogas Expo 2017 is the perfect place for AD professionals, landfill operators and others to share expertise and ideas and perhaps seal that sought-after business deal, with more business being done in the industry across these two days than in the rest of the year.
“The event will facilitate learning and best practice across existing UK and international markets and identify new opportunities where AD/biogas can solve significant problems across all sectors, including energy security issues. This will be the catalyst for ensuring that biogas’ immense potential is realised across the globe.”
WBA President David Newman:
“Finding alternative, sustainable sources of energy has become imperative to meeting the trilemma of a low-carbon, low-cost and more secure energy system. Biogas can make a huge contribution to UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 of ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. I’d strongly encourage national governments to attend the event to see how they can incorporate AD into their plans and policies to help meet their energy needs.”
Matt Hale, International Sales Manager at Heat Recovery Solutions:
“As last year’s UK AD & Biogas event showed, there are huge global opportunities available to innovative AD companies. With this year’s show having an even greater international focus, there will be more chances to make new contacts, meet potential clients and do overseas business than ever before.
“UK AD & Biogas has cemented its place as the leading biogas event in the UK. Now incorporating the World Biogas Expo, the 2017 show will take things to the next level, bringing together the global biogas community like never before.”
