DESCRIPTION:Technical Aspects for Implementing a Successful Biogas Project (Spanish)\n\n1 September 2026 Tuesday 13:00 – 17:00\, Zoom \nTrainer: Mario A. Rosato\, CEO\, Sustainable Technologies \n\n\n\n\nThere are five different families of digesters\, but over 90% of biogas plants in Europe belong to just one of them. In most cases\, plants are engineered and optimised according to the constructor’s criteria\, or its proprietary technology or patents\, or the agreement it has with the suppliers of components. Such a definition of “optimum” does not mean that the final outcome is optimum for the specific context of the customer.

Knowing to evaluate how to choose the most suitable solution for a given context is then crucial to get the highest return from the investment. \nLearn about the basics of anaerobic digestion technology and how to manage the digestion process and biogas purification in this training course. \n\n\n\n\n\n \nAgenda \nPart 1: Basics of Anaerobic Digestion Biology \n1.1 Understanding AD and its technical jargon: HRT\, CRT\, COD\, TS\, VS\, TOL\, OLR\, etc. \n1.2 Types of digesters\, advantages and disadvantages of each one\, depending on the substrate \n1.3 The optimum diet for the digester: measurement of the BMP (biochemical methane potential) of the feedstock BEFORE the construction \n1.4 Common mistakes in biogas plant design \nPart 2: Managing the Digestion Process and Biogas Purification \n2.1 The biological stability of the digester \n2.2 Frequent problems of the biologic process and how to prevent them \n2.3 Desulfurisation technologies: a short review of the pros and cons of each solution \n2.4 Upgrading technologies : a short review \n

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Fundamentals of Project Finance for Anaerobic Digestion | 2 September 2026
DESCRIPTION:Overview and Learning Outcome \n\n\n\n\nThe REPowerEU policy sets an ambitious target of producing 35 billion Cubic Meters (bcm) of biomethane in Europe annually by 2030 compared to current production of 6.4 bcm in 2024. This will require the creation of > 1\,000 Anaerobic Digestion plants and EUR billions of new investment into the sector. This investment will undoubtedly follow the principles of project finance. \nThis training course will give participants : \n\nA good understanding for how project finance for AD and biogas works\nCommon contractual structures\nHow financing AD plants is different from wind or solar\nReal life case studies of recently funded projects\nTypical bank terms\nHow to value AD plants\nCommon valuation metrics\nAn overview of the investor market.\n\n\n\n  \n  \nThe course will be presented by Michael Ware who is the market leader for biogas at Green Giraffe. Michael has been working in project finance for over 20 years and has raised in excess of GBP 1 billion for renewable energy projects. He is currently advising on biogas projects in 7 different European countries.

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Health and Safety Awareness in AD with Amaya Arias Garcia (Spanish) with Amaya Arias Garcia
DESCRIPTION:  \nHealth and Safety Awareness in AD with Amaya Arias Garcia (Spanish)\nFriday 11 September 2026\n09:00 – 17:00 BST\nOnline via Zoom\n\n\n\n\nOverview\nThis one-day online training provides a practical introduction to health and safety in anaerobic digestion and biogas projects for a global audience. It focuses on understanding where hazards can arise across the project lifecycle and how risks can be reduced through good design\, structured risk thinking\, and effective operational practices.  \nThe course avoids country-specific legislation and instead emphasises universal safety principles\, engineering logic\, and practical decision-making. Participants are introduced to risk-thinking tools ranging from simple “what if?” approaches to formal methodologies such as HAZOP\, illustrated with real-world examples from biogas projects in different contexts.  \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be better equipped to recognise hazards\, think systematically about risk\, and support safer design\, construction\, commissioning\, and operation of biogas facilities.  \n\n\nAgenda\n\n09:00 – 09:20\nWelcome\, objectives and course structure (20 min)\nFocus \n\nWelcome and introductions\nPurpose and scope of the

tools\n\n\nHAZID \n\n\nHAZOP – purpose\, structure\, and limitations \n\n\nTypical inputs (PFDs\, P&IDs\, layouts) \n\n\nCommon misunderstandings about HAZOP \n\nLearning outcome\nParticipants can understand and apply appropriate levels of risk assessment\, recognising when simple tools are sufficient and when formal studies are needed.  \n12:50 – 13:50 – Lunch break (60 min) \n13:50 – 14:50 (60 min)\nLecture 4 | Construction and Commissioning: Managing Risk During Change \nFocus\nExploring why construction and commissioning phases require particular attention to health and safety.

SUMMARY:ADBA Training | Competency Management System with Angela Cronje | Wednesday 11 November 2026
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, tickets are non-refundable. \nOverview\nThe training day will cover basis of the EU Skills Competence Management System (CMS) (https://euskills.co.uk/schemes/competence-management-system/)\, benefits to the operator and the regulator\, how the system works\, setting up the Competence Management System and example training framework. \nQualifications required by waste activity managers\nHolders of an environmental permit for a waste operation\, or certain installations\, need to demonstrate technical competence for their waste activity.  As such they need to join and comply with the requirements of one of these UK government approved schemes: \n\nthe scheme run jointly by the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and Waste Management Industry Training and Advisory Board (WAMITAB) – an individual qualification\, or\nthe scheme run jointly by Energy & Utility sector Skills Council (EU Skills) and the Environmental Services Association (ESA) – certified competence of the company as a whole.\n\nThe EU Skills CMS is based on the principles a Management System\, similar to ISO14001\, ISO9001 etc. It is audited and certificated by UKAS accredited certification bodies. \nThe CMS is approved in England by the Department for Environment\, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Environment Agency\, in Wales by the Welsh Government and Natural Resources Wales\, in Northern Ireland by Department of Agriculture\, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and in Scotland by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). \nBenefits of the CMS approach are (but not limited to): \n\nEnhances environmental permit compliance – Assures compliance with the technical competence requirements of the Operator’s permit.\nIncreases Awareness – All staff involved in the operation have the skills and training required by the permit\, and this extends to contractors and visitors.\nCustom-built system – It is unique to the operation where training is tailored to operation making it site specific rather than the generic training required by WAMITAB.\nMaintains compliance continuity – No gaps in the technical competence cover for sickness\, holidays or unplanned absences\nFlexible – Suitable for any size of company and any permitted waste activity

SUMMARY:WBA Training | Health and Safety Awareness in AD with Amaya Arias Garcia | Thursday 26 November 2026 | Full day
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis one-day online training provides a practical introduction to health and safety in anaerobic digestion and biogas projects for a global audience. It focuses on understanding where hazards can arise across the project lifecycle and how risks can be reduced through good design\, structured risk thinking\, and effective operational practices.  \nThe course avoids country-specific legislation and instead emphasises universal safety principles\, engineering logic\, and practical decision-making. Participants are introduced to risk-thinking tools ranging from simple “what if?” approaches to formal methodologies such as HAZOP\, illustrated with real-world examples from biogas projects in different contexts.  \nBy the end of the course\, participants will be better equipped to recognise hazards\, think systematically about risk\, and support safer design\, construction\, commissioning\, and operation of biogas facilities.  \n09:00 – 09:20\nWelcome\, objectives and course structure (20 min)\nFocus \n\nWelcome and introductions\nPurpose and scope of the training\nWhat
