8:00 – 9:30 | WEDNESDAY, 10TH JULY
LOCATION: WORLD BIOGAS EXPO, NEC BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM (EXACT MEETING ROOM TO BE ANNOUNCED)
The UK and the world are calling for futureproofing food security — this adds further value to the anaerobic digestion proposition as a central pillar of regenerative farming and nutrient management. In agrarian economies such as Northern Ireland for example, governments are increasingly recognising the vital role of AD in energy security. Further afield, analysts identify BRICs (Brazil, India, China), Southeast Asia and North America as immediate ‘development sweet spots’ of sustainable agriculture feedstocks – making clear the importance AD in the low-carbon economy.
The Farmers Breakfast brings together on-farm AD plant operators, farmers using AD co-products such as biofertilser as well as farmers and landowners interested in developing new AD plants on their land. This year’s event will consider how AD and emerging technologies for digestate enhancement can mitigate ammonia and biodiversity challenges while delivering the fertiliser solutions to restore soils and yields and meet farming needs. And it will explore the roles of ‘Combined Heat and Power’ (CHP) systems and biomethane grid injection in fulfilling energy demand.
