ADBA to attend Bio360 Europe as Media Partner

• ADBA will be exhibiting at this week’s Bio360 Europe expo and conference in Nantes, France
• This is part of a media partnership which will also extend to the inaugural Bio360 Africa event in Johannesburg, South Africa, June

The Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) has entered a media partnership with BEES, the organisers of the Bio360 Europe event taking place at the Parc des Expositions, Nantes, France on 11-12 February 2026.

Bio360 Europe is a meeting point for all technologies involved in the biotransition, ranging from biogas and biomethane to BECCU/S, biomaterials and advanced fuels.  This international exhibition attracts annually around 6,000 participants from across the global bioenergy, bioeconomy and CO2 removal sectors, with 450 exhibitors from around the world on the exhibition floor and over 250 speakers featuring in its programme of conferences.

ADBA is proud to be supporting this event – come and see us on stand B71!

Then later in the Spring, BEES will be introducing, for the first time, Bio360 Africa, a two day event aiming to be a catalyser for bioenergy to put its stamp firmly on the African energy map.  It will take place in Johannesburg on 17-18 June.

Notes to editors

The Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) is the trade association for the UK anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas industry. ADBA’s vision is to see the full potential of the UK AD industry realised so it can help the UK achieve its emissions targets and other policy goals, creating a truly circular economy. www.adbioresources.org

About the AD industry

• There are currently over 750 AD plants operational in the UK
• The entire industry digests approximately 36 million tonnes of organic material each year – organic material that would otherwise emit greenhouse gases including highly potent methane, if left untreated in landfill.
• An estimated 21 TWh of biogas is produced each year by the AD industry – this green gas is either used to generate electricity and heat via a combined heat and power (CHP) unit or upgraded to biomethane and injected directly into the national gas grid.
• The industry currently delivers savings of 1% off the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions every year.
• An estimated 4,800 people are currently employed in the AD and biogas industry in the UK.
• Overall, the industry grew by 5 per cent last year as the closure of older, smaller plants was outweighed by big-scale units feeding into the gas grid.
• Fully deployed, by 2050, the UK AD and biogas industry is expected to:
  • produce over 100TWh of biomethane
  • provide between 20% and 50% of UK gas demand
  • create 30,000 direct and 30,000 indirect jobs.
  • save the UK 27 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent = taking 1/3rd of all cars off the road
  • heat 6.8 million UK homes with the 8 billion m3 of biomethane generated

How AD works

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the natural breakdown of organic matter when deprived of oxygen in a container called digester. The process produces biogas and a residue called digestate – a stable, nutrient-rich substance used as a biofertiliser which restores soil health.
