Farm Biogas Conference 2024

The Small Biogas Demonstration Programme (SBDP) commenced in 2019 to establish the potential for farm scale biogas plants on farms. Over the course of the project, an operational biogas plant has been developed. The SBDP project has assessed all aspects of this scale of biogas production, including opportunities and challenges.

At this event, the following topics will be discussed:

1. What is farm-scale biogas production?

2. Outline the main findings and conclusions of the SBDP.

3. Presenting the farm-scale biogas plant including the farmers perspective.

4. Discuss the role of farm-scale biogas in the broader biogas/biomethane sector.

5. Opportunities for slurry management, nutrient recycling and digestate utilisation.

6. Potential for energy production, emissions reduction and decarbonisation at farm level.

7. Technical, policy and economic viability considerations.

Who should attend this event?

Target audience includes farmers, advisors, farmer representative groups, policy makers, local authority officials, political representatives, technology providers, food processors and co-ops.
