Join us at the ADBA Scottish Conference 2026, themed ‘AD: Clean Fuel, Circular Farming, Secure Future’.
With the conference taking place just before the Scottish Parliament is dissolved for the 2026 Scottish Parliamentary Elections and the trade association intending on playing an active role in engaging with parties across the political spectrum to ensure our sector’s voice is heard, the conference is our key launchpad for our influence to be maximised.
The conference will ensure we place the sector at the heart of the discussion about what Scotland needs to do to meet its still-ambitious climate targets and in alignment with the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan. As the political conversation in Scotland focuses heavily on making good on the Just Transition, we will also make sure that it is clear that our sector is already generating jobs, creating new revenue streams and cutting costs for Scottish businesses while helping the government to de-fossilise Scotland’s economy.
This year we will also have practical hands-on workshop-style breakouts to illuminate new revenue streams for existing plant developers and operators; unveiling a new AD Decision-Making Tool for those who want to find out more about the sector to understand if it is the right solution for them and bespoke sessions aimed at farmers and small on-farm AD operators before closing on a session focusing on investment.
Join us on 4 March 2026 for what promises to be an impactful and insightful conference, a testament to the collective expertise of the foremost minds in the Scottish biogas sector.

There is a particular pre-Christmas end of year magical feel to it and after around 10 attendances, I look forward to next year’s National Conference.”
