Masterclass Biomethane: From Production to Performance

Biomethane production depends on reliable operation across the entire value chain. From feedstock selection and plant operation to monitoring, gas cleaning, upgrading and grid injection, each stage can directly affect gas quality and overall performance.

This masterclass brings together experts from across the sector to discuss the main operational challenges, the impact of contaminants such as H2S and siloxanes, and the importance of effective monitoring and gas treatment. Participants will gain practical insights into how to reduce risks, protect downstream equipment and improve the reliability of biomethane production.
