About the Classroom Training

Many applications, ranging from heavy industry to chemical production and heavy transport, rely on molecules with the high energy density of current fossil fuels, which are not easily replaced by electricity alone. It is, therefore, crucial to provide alternatives for these sectors in the form of renewable molecules to ensure their continued competitiveness and to establish suitable pathways for decarbonisation. Globally, the most straightforward way to decarbonise is by replacing fossil fuels with different types of renewables, such as biogas and biomethane.

Biogas is increasingly recognised as a vital component in the global transition towards sustainable energy. Produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials, biogas is the renewable energy source not only helps in managing waste but also offers a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels demand. Countries like Denmark and Germany have been pioneers in biogas technology. They have implemented robust systems that integrate biogas into their energy mix. By capturing methane emissions that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere from decomposing organic matter, biogas systems contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Biogas production also supports a circular economy by recycling nutrients through the digestion process. The economic potential of biogas is vast, offering opportunities for energy generation while simultaneously addressing waste management challenges. As countries strive to meet climate goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, biogas presents a promising pathway. Continued investment and innovation in biogas technology will be crucial for maximising its potential and facilitating a sustainable energy future.

This course outlines the biogas value chain and the various opportunities it offers. Participants will explore different aspects of the value chain, including technical, economic, and societal possibilities, and learn to upscale biogas for practical applications. In this course, participants will be exposed to global and Asian perspective, with key examples from Denmark and Asia. Participants will also learn about the great success of biogas in India, highlighting both the barriers and opportunities for biogas in the broader Asian region. Additionally, participants will delve into the future of biogas, its economic potential, and discusses innovative technologies and additional revenue streams.

This course will be delivered via face-to-face over 3-day sessions, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 19.30 hours in total, 19.3 CPD points. This course can also be delivered through Virtual Inspector Led Training.
