READING MATERIALS OF BLOCK 1 “BIOGAS AND BIOMETHANE PRODUCTION” | EBRD/GEF PROJECT

20/11/2023

The reading materials of Block 1 “Biogas and biomethane production” of advanced training courses for professionals in the bioenergy sector are already available on our platform and the website of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine. Lectures were held in online format during November 6-10, 2023.

Block 1 “Biogas and biomethane production” contains lectures (webinars) that operators/technical staff of bioenergy plants and management/administrative staff will find useful. You can watch videos and presentations from all five days.

We thank all the participants for the positive reviews, important comments and interesting discussions! See you at the next events!
