The Biogas & Carbon Capture Advisory Group
Building a brighter future for Biogas
The transition to a low-carbon economy presents both challenges and opportunities for the UK’s biogas and carbon capture sectors. While anaerobic digestion has become an established technology for producing renewable energy and biomethane, there remains significant untapped potential to capture greater value from biogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂), improve plant efficiency and create new commercial opportunities.
Recognising this opportunity, Blended Products established the Biogas & Carbon Capture Working Group to bring together experts from across the industry. The group’s purpose is simple: to encourage collaboration, share knowledge and help shape the future of biogenic CO₂ and carbon capture in the UK.
Unlike traditional trade associations, the Working Group provides an open forum where operators, technology providers, consultants, researchers and commercial organisations can exchange ideas, discuss challenges and identify practical solutions that benefit the wider industry.
Why was the Working Group formed?
The Working Group was created after recognising that many of the industry’s biggest challenges were being discussed in isolation.
Whilst several organisations provide excellent advocacy, there remained an opportunity to create a collaborative forum that focuses on:
- Sharing technical knowledge
- Identifying commercial opportunities
- Exploring carbon capture technologies
- Raising awareness of biogenic CO₂
- Encouraging innovation
- Building partnerships across the supply chain
- Supporting the growth of the UK carbon capture market
By bringing together experts from multiple disciplines, the group aims to accelerate knowledge sharing and help businesses prepare for a rapidly changing market.
Our purpose
The Biogas & Carbon Capture Working Group exists to:
- Promote collaboration across the biogas and carbon capture industries.
- Share practical knowledge and best practice.
- Identify emerging technologies and market opportunities.
- Support the commercial development of biogenic CO₂.
- Encourage innovation and sustainability.
- Provide a platform for industry discussion.
- Generate practical outputs that benefit the wider sector.
What makes the Working Group different?
Rather than acting as a formal trade association, the Working Group is an independent collaboration of industry professionals.
Members are encouraged to openly discuss:
- Technical challenges
- Market developments
- Carbon capture opportunities
- Policy changes
- Commercial models
- New technologies
- Future industry priorities
This collaborative approach allows ideas to be explored from multiple perspectives while creating valuable connections between organisations that may not otherwise work together.
Areas of Focus
The Working Group explores topics including:
Biogenic Carbon Dioxide
Exploring new markets for captured CO₂, improving supply resilience and supporting the transition towards lower-carbon industrial gases.
Carbon Capture
Understanding emerging technologies, practical implementation and commercial opportunities.
Biomethane
Supporting the long-term sustainability of the UK’s biomethane industry beyond government incentives.
Plant Efficiency
Helping operators improve performance, reduce methane slip and maximise plant value.
Feedstocks
Understanding future feedstock availability, sustainability and regulation.
Government & Policy
Monitoring regulatory developments affecting anaerobic digestion, carbon capture and renewable gases.
New Markets
Helping businesses identify innovative applications for renewable gases and captured carbon dioxide.
