Webinar: How do I determine if biogas is a realistic opportunity for my business and what do I need to know?
Date: Thursday, 30 May 2024
Time: 14:00 PM (NZ time), 10:00 AM (AWST), 11.30 AM (ACST), 12 noon (AEST)
Venue: Online via Zoom link
About the webinar
There are a number of organisations who think they have a waste material that they could process to biogas/Biomethane but not sure:
- if they have enough waste?
- can generate enough gas from the waste available?
- how they’d convert it to biogas for their own use or upgrade to biomethane for sale and distribution through the gas distribution pipeline system? and
- if there is a business case for further development?
The presentation will examine typical case studies and show a process of evaluation methods and tools to address:
- Why biogas & biomethane?
- How I make biogas & biomethane?
- What feedstocks are suitable?
- Technology selection.
- What do the finances look like – feedstock cost, CAPEX, OPEX?
There are many opportunities for recycling organic residues into a gaseous fuel and while this is done in other regions, New Zealand is just in its infancy on this journey.
This presentation is aimed at organisations who have organic residues from processing operations which could be recycled into energy for either use as fuel in their own boilers, generators or upgrading into biomethane for sale. With a focus on aspects to consider when assessing a biogas/biomethane opportunity, this presentation is to help new advisers into the sector or provide a refresher to more experienced practitioners.
