Event already took place, thank you for your interest.
As a farmer, have you ever wondered if it makes sense to invest in an AD facility to generate more revenue?
As a researcher, have you studied AD extensively but never looked at it from a practical perspective?
Do you work in a governmental institution that focuses on regulatory guidelines for renewable energies – but always wanted to explore AD & Green Gas production in more detail?
Because these are the issues we regularly help our event attendants solve.
This 4-day biogas and AD training is designed around your needs and questions…
Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced professional in the field of AD and Green Gas production.
Based on 20 years of practical experience as well as 15 years conducting trainings and courses, we strongly focus on practical knowledge that you as a participant can apply…
…as soon as the day after the training!
We’ll focus on core elements that have proven to be the most interesting and valuable for our participants.

The schedule includes time for networking and Q&A with the instructors.
All instructors are long time experts and their practical background provides in-depth knowledge.
Now – we know that 490 € or 890 € is a decent investment into a training…
But:
- How much would it be worth to you to finally get clear instructions on how to run your plant properly?
- How much would you be willing to pay, knowing you have made the right decision regarding your multi-million investment?
- Wouldn’t it be worth to finally get clear answers from decade-long experts?
- Wouldn’t you want to know where the biogas industry is headed in Ireland and the UK so you can plan accordingly?
*VAT of 19 % will be applied for registrations without a valid EU VAT ID and for all participants attending from outside the EU.
