Overcoming the Barriers for the Implementation of Anaerobic Digestion in the Agricultural Sector
23–24 April 2008
Location: Morella, Michoacan, Mexico
Event Details: On 23-24 April 2008, SEMARNAT hosted a workshop under the auspices of the Methane to Markets Partnership (M2M). An international line-up of delegates came together for collaborative discussions about agricultural methane capture and use projects worldwide. The workshop explored technical, information, and market barriers and ways to overcome these in order to deliver successful anaerobic digestion (AD) projects through new markets.
This workshop was held in conjunction with the M2M Agriculture Subcommittee meeting on 22 April 2008.
