The UK is currently one of the few countries not to mix food waste with wastewater for anaerobic digestion (AD). At the NEC in Birmingham, during the UK AD & World Biogas Expo 2018 (July 11th & 12th), a panel comprising members of Ofwat and Heads of Biosolids/Bioresources from top water companies will debate the potential impact of co-digestion on availability of feedstock for existing plants - and whether outside companies will enter the sewage market. The session will take place at 2.30 pm on the second day of the expo. It will also feature Senior Adviser at the Environment Agency Mat Davis and will also explore the innovations that are happening in the wastewater sector to make AD plants more profitable.
“Ofwat’s preliminary £780 million value of the bioresources market was actually recorded in 2016” said Elaine Coles, Editor of online news and intelligence service Waterbriefing. “Now, with the new Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) tariffs just announced, this important sector will no doubt be stimulated much further – so the expo provides a golden opportunity to see the very latest technologies at one totally focused AD/biogas show”.
Now in its ninth year, UK AD & World Biogas Expo is experiencing a great deal of interest from those in the water/biosolids and food and drink industries.
Over 3,000 attendees are expected the expo, which includes more than 200 exhibitors from all over the world – and 100-plus speakers.
