This workshop will look at how Yorkshire can make more use of anaerobic digestion (AD) to decarbonise its industry, waste management, farming and transport in order to meet UK targets. It will also consider the implications of the Government’s Green Gas Support Scheme expected in 2021 to encourage provision of green gas to the grid.

There will be some optional online networking time after the event.

Organised as part of the THYME project, funded by the Connecting Capabilities Fund of Research England
