About ADBA
The Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) was established in September 2009 to represent the UK anaerobic digestion (AD) and bioresources industry and to support the development of a safe, high-performing industry. Today they represent over 300 organisations, spanning AD operators, equipment suppliers, finance specialists, farmers, academics, waste management companies, gas distribution networks and more specialisms.
Humans generate millions of tons of organic wastes (food waste, sewage, animal manures and slurries and other agricultural wastes) which, if not captured and recycled, produce harmful methane emissions and create health issues. Anaerobic digestion is the technology widely recognised as extracting the most value out of these organic wastes. Indeed, by turning these waste resources into green gas (biogas), bio-CO2, bio-fertilisers and other valuable bio-products, AD can reduce the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions by at least 6%. And because AD is already a mature technology, with the right support this reduction can be delivered by 2030, helping to decarbonise some of the hardest-to-decarbonise sectors such as heat, transport, agriculture and waste management.
AD also helps improve the UK’s energy and food security, and can make a huge contribution to supporting the post-Covid green recovery by creating 60,000 new jobs.
Through lobbying activities, meetings with government officials, working groups, high profile industry events, educational material and more, ADBA aims to facilitate the AD industry’s growth.
ADBA are co-hosting the World Biogas Expo with the World Biogas Association, on 8-9 July at the NEC Birmingham. The World Biogas Expo is the leading global trade show for the biogas and anaerobic digestion industry.
Since its launch in 2010, the Expo has grown into a key meeting point for the international biogas community, bringing together innovators, policymakers, investors and industry leaders from across the sector.
The event features 100+ exhibition stands, dozens of expert speakers and thousands of delegates, showcasing the latest technologies, solutions and opportunities shaping the future of renewable gas and sustainable resource management.
The World Biogas Expo is the must-attend event for anyone involved in the global biogas industry. Register free
