North America’s largest biogas and RNG tradeshow and conference
WASHINGTON – APRIL 13, 2026 – The American Biogas Council (ABC) today unveiled the educational programs slated for BIOGAS AMERICAS 2026, taking place May 18–21 in Detroit. The event ─ North America’s largest biogas and renewable natural gas tradeshow and conference ─ will feature more than 50 industry experts as panelists and is expected to draw nearly 2,000 attendees. SJI will serve as the event’s 2026 title sponsor.
The conference will convene project developers, operators, utilities, investors, technology providers, policymakers, from across the biogas value chain for four days of programming, networking, and business development.
“BIOGAS AMERICAS brings together the people building this industry to tackle the biggest challenges facing biogas today,” said ABC Executive Director Patrick Serfass. “This year’s educational programs are focused on practical insights attendees can use immediately.”
The conference educational programs are designed to help attendees navigate today’s biogas market, from financing and offtake to policy, carbon accounting, operations, and more. Featured sessions include:
Unpacking the Offtake Market
Offtake remains a key bottleneck for biogas growth. This session breaks down today’s markets, where opportunities exist, and how recent changes are reshaping dealmaking.
Evolving the Landfill Gas Playbook
The landfill gas market is shifting as projects transition from electricity generation to RNG production. This session explores new approaches to carbon intensity, optimization, and project strategy.
Field to Fuel: Farmers’ Perspectives on Biogas
Farmers are essential partners in building biogas projects that last, but long-term success depends on more than good operations; it requires consistent, dependable policy frameworks that farmers, developers, and investors can plan around.
Counting Carbon in a Changing Rulebook
Carbon accounting is changing, and those changes are already influencing markets, project economics, and policy outcomes. This session breaks down recent updates to GREET, tax policy, and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Co-Digestion and Food Waste Management in the U.S.
Scaling co-digestion isn’t simple. This session explores what it takes to develop and operate successful projects, from coordinating multiple feedstock partners and managing logistics to navigating permitting and operational complexity.
The Future of Maritime Markets
Maritime shipping is often cited as a promising offtake market for low-carbon fuels, but uncertainty remains. This session will examine the technical work underway at IMO and how it may shape the Net-Zero Framework and future low-carbon fuel demand in maritime shipping.
Other session topics include:
- Municipal Biosolids Energy
- Turning CO2 Into Revenue
- Understanding PFAS Without Panic
- Opportunities in Asian Markets
