Ofwat’s kickstart to the burgeoning £780M bioresources market promises to make an important conference session about combining sewage sludge and food waste a must-visit at Birmingham’s NEC for UK AD & World Biogas Expo 2018 (July 11th & 12th).

Currently one of the few countries not to mix food waste with wastewater for AD, a panel comprising members of Ofwat and Heads of Biosolids/Bioresources from top water companies will debate the impact on availability of feedstock for existing plants- and whether outside companies will enter the sewage market. The session at 2.30pm on Day Two of the expo, also includes a senior adviser from the environment agency.

Elaine Coles, Editor of Waterbriefing, the leading online news and intelligence service,believes that this conference session is another key reason why attending UK AD & World Biogas Expo 2018 is important - for everybody involved in the water industry who seeks improved biogas yields, more efficient AD plants and better use of better quality biosolids.

““Ofwat’s preliminary £780M market value was actually recorded in 2016”, she said.

“Now, with the new Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) just announced, this important sector will no doubt be stimulated much further – so the expo provides an excellent opportunity to see the very latest technologies in one place at an event which is specifically focused  on AD and biogas." 

Now in its ninth year, UK AD & World Biogas Expo 2018 is steadily growing into a show that (still) draws big interest from the farmers diversifying into AD – and now with rapidly increasing interest from those in the water/biosolids and food-waste industries.

Over 3,000 attendees are expected the expo, which includes more than 200 exhibitors from all over the world – and 100-plus speakers.
