World Biogas Expo - 2025
This year’s World Biogas Expo is taking place in Birmingham, United Kingdom, on 9-10 July 2025. Organised by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) and the World Biogas Association (WBA), the event is the only trade show solely dedicated to the global anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas sector. The Expo is made up of conference areas and an exhibition area — all free entry. Key players in the AD and biogas sector will gather at the NEC Birmingham to hear about market trends and policy in the conference area (Engine Room and Summit theatres) and explore the busy exhibition where AD and biogas companies will showcase their products, services and innovations. The evening of 9 July will also be a time for celebration with the winners of this year’s AD and Biogas Industry Awards competition being revealed at a gala ceremony.
The World Biogas Expo is co-organised annually at the NEC Birmingham, United Kingdom by the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) and the World Biogas Association (WBA), and its origins date back to 2010. Today, it is the leading global biogas trade show of its kind, with representation from the UK and over a hundred countries. It features dozens of guest speakers, over a hundred exhibition stands, and thousands of delegates – all at the cutting-edge of biogas.
