London, UK, August 18, 2011: EBEC (European Bioenergy Expo and Conference), the UK’s largest dedicated bioenergy event, announces that National Grid will participate in four of its conference sessions to share knowledge and insight for delegates with respect to the biomethane business opportunities now appearing in the UK. Over the two day event, the company will outline the energy challenges in getting to a low carbon economy, explain National Grid’s vision for biomethane, highlight the key role for biomethane in decarbonising heat, provide an update on gas to grid developments and explain how to connect biomethane plants to the gas network. Full details of the conference sessions will be published on the EBEC
website.
"Biomethane has the potential to cost effectively contribute to global carbon reduction targets. It has the added benefits of increasing security of energy supplies and helping to deal with organic waste products. I am proud that National Grid is taking a lead role to bring this sustainable energy source to market," says John Pettigrew, Chief Operating Officer, Gas Distribution and Metering for National Grid.
Lucy Pitt, Group Marketing Manager of Closer2 Media, the company organising EBEC, adds: “We’re very pleased to see National Grid participating so fully in EBEC this year. Their expertise in biomethane to grid is unrivalled and delegates have a great opportunity to learn from the company’s in-depth knowledge of the exciting opportunities presented by this emerging technology.”

Microgen brings together manufacturers, distributors, installers and consumers of micro renewable technologies including wind and solar.
