Opportunities in Biogas – an IEA Task 37 perspective: EBNet webinar now available

Presentations from our webinar Opportunities in Biogas – an IEA Task 37 perspective are now available on EBNet’s YouTube channel.

This webinar was jointly hosted by EBNet and the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), with the aim of making people more familiar with the vast array of information and resources available through IEA Bioenergy’s Task 37. It includes a general introduction to Task 37, its outputs and work programmes, and an example of a recent study highlighting application of anaerobic digestion in the food and beverage sector.

Dr-Ing Jan Liebetrau is the former Task 37 Lead and General Manager at Rytec GmbH, Germany . His main expertise is in project development and feasibility studies of AD processes and landfill gas collection and treatment plants, methane emissions from biogas plants and landfill operations and management of research activities. Special focus is on biological methane oxidation.

Bernhard Drosg Dipl-Ing Dr, the current Task 37 Lead, is Head of the Research Area ‘Biochemical Technologies’ at BEST – Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH, and Senior Scientist at BOKU University of Vienna, Austria. He has represented Austria in IEA Bioenergy Task 37 since 2010 and has 17 years of experience in biogas research and development.

Session chaired by: Andrew Brown, Technical Support Manager at ADBA. Introduction by Dr Mark Walker, our AD WG Lead.

IEA Bioenergy Task 37 ‘Energy from Biogas’

Task 37 is an international working group which covers AD of biomass feedstocks including agricultural residues (e.g. manure and crop residues), energy crops, organic-rich waste waters, the organic fraction of municipal of solid waste (OFMSW) and industrial organic wastes. Task 37 addresses the whole biogas production chain from feedstock collection and pretreatment to biogas upgrading, biofertiliser application and process chain sustainability.  Its reports are freely available on the Task website.
