Networks for Biogas and Anaerobic Digestion

Networks are built to share experiences on several issues, in this case on anaerobic digestion (AD) of agricultural and industrial biomass and communal and industrial wastes. Databases can cover AD experts and organizations, biogas plant design, research and funding organizations, literature and further information. The main objective of AD networks is information exchange on the performance of technically and commercially successful AD facilities and findings of scientific research on AD.
