Conference Center | Room 15/16 | Registration required, fee-based event. This Masterclass provides a comprehensive exploration of the key components of biogas systems and the advanced techniques in the anaerobic digestion process that drive efficient and optimised methane formation. By using priming substrates and pre- and post- treatment techniques, a significant boost of the methane production efficiency can be achieved. The programme also explores the broader market context, including country‑specific production trends, support mechanisms, and the main EU policies shaping the industry. Emerging opportunities—such as biogenic CO₂ valorisation and advanced digestate valorisation—highlight where future growth is expected
