Biogas USA
Following successful editions in Austria, Belgium, the UK and USA, Green Power Conferences are pleased to announce that the 8th international biogas networking conference will take place in San Francisco. There are currently more than 100 on-farm anaerobic digesters in operation in the U.S and more than 80 new anaerobic digesters are in the planning stage. In addition, more than 420 operating landfill gas recovering plants are running and 82 new plants are under construction. While a handful of large well established landfill gas projects are very well run, the market for anaerobic digesters is far less competitive. This key event will bring together leaders of the US biogas industry to examine how to develop commercially successful biogas projects and address the latest technological advances in production. Delegates will learn from best practice case studies from government representatives, biogas producers, utilities and biogas users to gain a clear understanding of the current federal policy framework, investment criteria, project start up requirements, plant optimization and upgrading biogas for injection into national gas grids.
