This is a unique opportunity to see first hand how a large scale gas to grid anaerobic digestion plant works. Hear how farming businesses can benefit without the need for capital investment; how energy crops can enhance arable rotations and how long term feedstock supply and digestate offtake agreements help mitigate the risks of input prices.
