SABIA Biogas Study Tour Johannesburg · Friday 19 June 2026 Tickets: R1,000 non-members / R800 SABIA members
Technical Study Tour Real-world bioenergy projects in operation across South Africa - Friday 19 June
A curated field programme connecting Bio360 Africa participants with real-world biogas, waste-to-energy and landfill gas projects operating across community, industrial and municipal contexts.
From community biogas to municipal methane mitigation
The 2026 Study Tour has been designed to show how bioenergy solutions are being deployed in practice, across different scales and operating environments.
3 operational site visits
286 km approximate total route
1 day focused technical exchange
Sites included
Each visit brings a different lens on African bioenergy deployment: social impact, commercial-scale anaerobic digestion, and landfill gas recovery.
Site 1 · Hammanskraal
St Camillus Primary School Biogas Project
A school-based biogas project using food waste from school meals to generate gas for cooking and bio-slurry for a food garden.
Community biogas Food waste Bio-slurry
Site 2 · Bronkhorstspruit
Bronkhorstspruit Biogas Plant
A South African industrial-scale waste-to-energy biogas plant operated by Bio2Watt, digesting organic waste to generate green baseload electricity.
Industrial AD Organic waste Baseload power
Site 3 · Johannesburg
Robinson Deep Landfill Gas-to-Energy
A landfill gas project extracting methane from decomposing waste to generate renewable electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
