AD Modelling Demystified: Essential Fundamentals and Hands-on Applications

AD Modelling Demystified: Essential Fundamentals and Hands-on Applications

Thursday, 8th February at 12:00 – 2:00 pm UK Time. View the recording here.

In this webinar, we will describe the modelling fundamentals and highlight the benefits associated with its practice. We will break down the two main approaches to modelling anaerobic digestion, mechanistic and data-driven alternatives, along with their pros and cons. Towards the end, we will introduce two useful web modules that are freely available for modelling, showcasing the added value of modelling. Our ultimate goal is to demonstrate the significant role that modelling should play in the context of climate change, industrial automation and digitalisation for both academia and industrial partners.
