    Looking towards the future, I think we’re going to find out whether many of the technologies currently being piloted, such as woody biomass to RNG, and technologies making lignocellulosic materials more anaerobically digestible, are commercially viable, and if so, new investments will likely support these endeavours.

    In terms of policy, the industry still requires a uniform recognition of its benefits. The ability to valorize the entire value chain, including digestate and CO2, is increasingly being recognized. I believe policy-wise, in North America, the next 5 years will feature more state and provincial governments formally recognizing these benefits, which will in turn open new markets for AD facilities and allow the market to flourish
