AFBI Hillsborough hosts Anaerobic Digestion demo for farmers

“On-Farm Small-Scale Anaerobic Digestion” is a one-day event taking place on Wednesday the 2nd November at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) Hillsborough.

Hosted by Gary Lyons of AFBI and supported by the AD Network, it will feature presentations by experienced practitioners and researchers who will outline the latest innovations in this field.

This event will consist of a series of specialist presentations on the subject of Farm Small-Scale Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and provides a real opportunity for farmers to expand their networks in this area. It will showcase and examine the current state of research and activity and should be of interest to Industry and academia alike.  During the presentations, funding opportunities for collaborations will be highlighted, so, if you are actively involved in small-scale AD, or want to be, this is the place for you!

There has never been a better time to explore collaborations with the research community as the UK government focuses its attention on industrial biotechnology.  Funding streams available range from small £10,000 Business Interaction Vouchers, £60,000 Proof of Concept awards and the prospect of larger-scale funding.  Join us to explore the topic further and benefit from expert discussion in this specialist area.
