Scientific Advisory Council

Scientific Advisory Council is a network of researchers, scientists and university teachers dedicated to the promotion of the biogas and biomethane sector by means of scientific evidence.

Objectives

  • Provide scientific evidence to EBA position papers and public communications
  • Advise on programme of EBA workshops and conferences
  • Support EBA Board in evaluation of project proposals
  • Exchange experiences and information on biogas and biomethane research

Any legal or natural person active in biogas or biomethane can become a member of EBA and thus be involved in the SAC.

Company Advisory Council

The Company Advisory Council (CAC) is an industry platform dedicated to the European industry dealing with biogas and biomethane production, anaerobic digestion and gasification.

Why join the CAC?

The CAC provides an opportunity to companies to reflect their own views to European policy makers and to strengthen the EBA’s voice in a concerted way by:

  • Exchanging information on market development and new business opportunities.
  • Assessing local/national/European policy instruments from an industrial perspective.
  • Staying informed on R&I developments which have a positive impact on biogas and biomethane industries.
  • Supporting the development of quality standards as a basis for the trade and use of biogas and biomethane across borders.
  • Contributing to improve existing data and statistics on biogas and biomethane.

Any legal or natural person active in biogas or biomethane can become a member of EBA and thus be involved in the CAC.
