Webinar: Promoting anaerobic digestion for waste management
Promoting anaerobic digestion for waste management
Virtual Event, 16/05/2023
Management and disposal of wastes is a major global problem. Anaerobic digestion offers opportunities not only to minimise waste volumes but also to recover embodied energy in the form of biogas and biomethane.
This webinar looked at policy incentives that are available to increase the installation of biogas plants in Europe and provide a case study from France. Furthermore, the webinar presented a methodology for understanding the replicability of national policies so that the discussion can focus on the application of these practical and policy cases in other regions.
