Appearances coming up:

Day One

@ 11.00

Has the UK water industry fulfilled the potential of biomethane grid injection? Can Water and Sewerage companies be at the forefront of the energy revolution?

How could the new processes for Advanced Anaerobic Digestion shape the energy industry?

Is there a future for Co-digestion in the UK? Will the benefits of using existing infrastructure break down the EU barriers to include sewage sludge as an allowable material?

Is there a need for more balanced regulations to establish fair competition among waste & water companies? Would the latter lead to other organic waste being treated as sewage sludge?

What’s next: can biomethane be a mainstream solution for Water & Sewerage companies to produce vehicle fuel and sustain their large transport fleets?
