Disponible uniquement en anglais.

Canada’s biogas sector is entering a period of rapid change. Evolving policies, shifting demand, and increasing competition are reshaping how projects are developed, financed, and operated. The marine industry is also emerging as a new end-use market, creating both opportunity and uncertainty.

2026 Value of Biogas West will bring together developers, technology providers, investors, and policy leaders from across North America and beyond to explore how these changes are impacting the biogas sector. Held in Vancouver, one of North America’s most active LNG marine hubs, it will also provide a timely opportunity to connect the biogas and maritime sectors to examine the potential role of RNG/bio-LNG within the global energy transition.

The Conference agenda will explore both big-picture forces and practical realities shaping Canada’s biogas sector. Through a mix of expert panels and industry insights, sessions will address key themes such as policy and regulatory direction, market demand, and emerging end-use opportunities, while also tackling critical challenges for project development and delivery.

The agenda will continue to evolve as speakers are confirmed and the program is finalized.
