As the UK reaches a critical crossroads and policy is being set in the AD Action Plan, it is vital that Government and industry understand where AD fits in the bigger picture in order to maximise the value of AD. With the imminent announcement of RHI and challenges in key areas such as waste collection, gas to grid injection, biomethane as a vehicle fuel and markets for digestate, the ADBA National Conference 2010 is a key opportunity to understand and debate the key issues and policies that will affect your business plan. With our insight into government policy and extensive industry expertise, the ADBA National Conference 2010 is the only conference able to guide you towards an optimal AD strategy and explain how you can overcome the barriers that threaten to limit the value of AD. If you want to increase your profits in AD and biogas then you cannot afford to miss this event!
