The UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) has announced an eminent line-up of keynote speakers for its flagship event, the ADBA National Conference, on 11 December 2019 in Stuart Roberts, Vice-President of the National Farmers' Union (NFU), and Councillor David Renard, of the Local Government Association (LGA).
The NFU has recently launched a report on how British agriculture can achieve net zero, which includes the important role that AD has to play in reaching this ambition, whilst the LGA will share its thoughts on the introduction of mandatory separate food waste collections and the use of biogas and biomethane.
The ADBA National Conference 2019, themed There’s no Net Zero without Biogas, will mark ADBA's 10th anniversary and 10 years before the UK government must reduce emissions by 57 percent to be on track to meet its net zero greenhouse gases commitment by 2050. The UK anaerobic digestion (AD) industry has a critical role to play in helping the government achieve this objective and the conference will discuss how AD and biogas can help realise this ambition.
“We are very excited to welcome Stuart and David as keynote speakers to this year's ADBA National Conference” said Charlotte Morton, ADBA Chief Executive. “Their organisations' leadership in seeking to cut greenhouse gases emissions across agriculture and urban living - and integrating AD and biogas in the process - will be instrumental to achieve the UK's Net Zero target. This will set the scene for a very constructive and illuminating set of discussions about the best way our industry can contribute. This year's event will represent a turning point in awareness and commitment - a great way to mark our 10th anniversary and prepare for the next, crucial decade”.
