This session will explore how innovation in the biogas sector is opening new pathways for efficiency, feedstock flexibility, project economics and wider market deployment. Bringing together complementary perspectives from technology developers and project practitioners, the discussion will examine how the next generation of biogas solutions can help make anaerobic digestion more adaptable, resilient and economically attractive across a wider range of operating conditions.

Innovations in the spotlight : 

Opus Cactus will bring insight into the diversification of feedstocks and the opportunities linked to underutilised organic resources, exploring how drought-resistant cactus cultivation on marginal and water-constrained land could open new pathways for biogas production in regions where conventional energy crops are less viable. The discussion will examine how such approaches may contribute not only to feedstock resilience and project viability, but also to land rehabilitation, climate adaptation and decentralised rural energy development.

Andersen.Bio, alongside this, will present its work on dramatically accelerated digestion processes, including experience reducing digestion time from around 65 days to approximately 5 days. The discussion will consider the implications this could have for reactor sizing, capital expenditure, heating demand, operational efficiency and overall plant economics.

Together, these perspectives will help frame a broader conversation around how innovation in feedstock utilisation, process optimisation and system design may reshape the future economics, resilience and scalability of biogas projects.

Optimising anaerobic digestion systems is essential for improving plant efficiency, increasing gas yields, enhancing digestate quality and ensuring long-term operational stability. This technical session will focus on the strategies, technologies and operational approaches being used to improve the performance of anaerobic digestion systems across different scales and applications. Bringing together complementary perspectives from biological optimisation specialists, material technology providers and experienced plant operators, the discussion will examine how process optimisation is becoming increasingly important for maximising both the technical and economic performance of AD projects.

Greencell will present its approach to boosting anaerobic digestion performance through bio-solutions designed to enhance both biogas output and digestate value. The discussion will explore how biological optimisation strategies, microbial stimulation and process enhancement can contribute to greater methane yields, improved digestion efficiency and higher-value nutrient recovery from digestate streams.

Nalón Minerals , alongside this, will bring insight into the role of advanced mineral solutions in improving biogas and biomethane production, with a particular focus on hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) capture and gas quality enhancement. The session will examine how process additives and functional minerals can contribute to improved plant reliability, reduced corrosion risks, cleaner gas streams and enhanced upgrading performance.

Drawing on operational experience from South Africa, Cape Town Biogas will contribute practical perspectives on the optimisation and day-to-day management of anaerobic digestion systems under real operating conditions. This will include insight into process stability, operational troubleshooting, feedstock handling and maintaining plant performance in commercial and municipal contexts.

Together, these perspectives will provide a rounded view of how biological optimisation, gas treatment technologies, material science and operational know-how can work together to improve methane yields, process resilience, digestate valorisation and the long-term bankability of anaerobic digestion projects.
