Organizers

September 10th, 2015

Over 50 participants came to Ängavallen in Vellinge, Sweden to network with participants from several different Baltic Sea countries. The speakers gave a very good insight into recent research and new technologies regarding pretreatment of lignocellulosic substrates for biogas production. We would once again like to say thank you to our sponsor Landia GasMix.
