The seventh Nordic Biogas Conference (NBC) will be held April 9th–10th (11th), 2019 in Oslo – the European Green Capital of 2019.
The Nordic countries are known to be global frontrunners in the biogas arena with an advanced use of biogas and biofertilizer. The Nordic Biogas Conference will show-case both the today’s and tomorrow’s solutions – “the next wave” in biogas.
Target group: Stakeholders (users and decision makers) from both municipal and private sector, technology providers, energy companies, consultants, R&D / universities.
The whole value chain of biogas and fertilizer will be represented.
The conference includes plenary presentations, parallel sessions, a poster session and both and indoor exhibition and outdoor exhibition for vehicles, trucks and machinery. NBC provides the opportunity to meet the decision-makers in the biogas industry, exchange best practice-information on production, distribution and utilisation of biogas and even bio-fertilizer in the Nordic countries, enhance cooperation and establish new business relationships.
