Future of BioLNG: Europe 2026
The Future of BioLNG Europe 2026 (25th & 26th March in Turin) will bring together senior stakeholders from across the biomethane, gas, maritime, road transport, and investment communities to tackle the real-world challenges of scaling bioLNG in Europe. Across 2 days of content-driven presentations, panel discussions and facilitated networking, this senior-level conference will examine how RED III, FuelEU Maritime, and evolving IMO guidance are reshaping market access, compliance, and long-term investment strategies for bioLNG producers, off-takers, and infrastructure players.
The agenda opens with a deep dive into financing bioLNG projects in a fragmented policy environment—covering price stability, certification credibility, investor expectations, and the volatility that continues to delay final investment decisions. A high-level regulatory panel will then translate complex EU and IMO rules into practical implications for project developers, shipowners, fleet operators, and traders.
Infrastructure, ports, and cross-border logistics form a second core theme. Speakers will explore modular logistics models, lessons from fast-moving markets such as Spain, and how bioLNG supply chains differ between key national contexts, including Germany, Italy, and wider European shipping corridors. Dedicated sessions will address national incentive schemes (Germany, Italy, UK), the realities of certification and chain-of-custody under RED III, and what “credible” bioLNG looks like for regulators, certifiers, and corporate buyers.
The programme also compares bioLNG with HVO, synthetic fuels, and e-fuels for heavy road transport, examines industry uptake under ETS and upcoming methane slip scrutiny, and looks ahead to the wider fuel mix in Europe’s decarbonising transport system. Throughout, you will hear case studies of successful deployment where policy, infrastructure, and incentives are aligned.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to visit Edison Next’s Zinasco bioLNG plant prior to the conference on 24th March, gaining first-hand insight into small-scale liquefaction, operations, and commercial models in practice.
What to Expect:
- Expert-Led Conversations: Participate in in-depth dialogues with policymakers and industry leaders on BioLNG policy frameworks, market dynamics, and pathways to decarbonization.
- Cutting-Edge Innovations: Explore breakthroughs in BioLNG production, including emerging techniques and the role of carbon capture and storage integration.
- Real-World Use Cases: Gain insights into how BioLNG is being implemented in the maritime and transportation industries, along with the practical challenges and advantages of its use.
- Pathways to Sustainability: Delve into solutions for securing sustainable feedstock sources and addressing logistical hurdles to scale BioLNG infrastructure.
- Global Networking: Build valuable connections with international policymakers, investors, industry pioneers, and stakeholders to drive future collaboration and investment.

On Tuesday the 24th of March 2026 a limited number of conference delegates will have the unique opportunity to visit the Edison, Zinasco (Pavia) plant.
The Edison Zinasco (Pavia) plant is located an hour and half drive from Turin and produces 4,000,000 Nm3 of biogas per year from the treatment of 30,000 ton of household waste. Stirling Cryogenics together with sister company Hysytech have supplied a plant for the purification and liquefaction of the biogas. It has been in operation since 2023 and is a good example for a technically and economically project of small scale liquefaction.
There is no extra charge to join the site visit, although the number of places are limited and allocated to the conference delegates on a first come first serve basis. Transportation to the site will be organised by ACI and will depart from the venue hotel (Nh Torino)

SUBLIME Energie develops next-generation biogas infrastructure to unlock an agricultural biogas potential currently inaccessible to most farms. While biogas is inherently local and circular, small and remote farms are excluded from high-value biofuel and CO₂ markets due to scale, grid access, and transport limitations. SUBLIME Energie overcomes this by liquefying raw biogas on-site, enabling its transport as a dense liquid to central hubs for upgrading and distribution.
The innovation relies on a carrier agent that stabilises biomethane and biogenic CO₂ allowing raw biogas to be liquefied and transported without relying on the gas grid. By mutualising purification and conditioning across farm clusters, the solution reduces capital costs per site and allows small producers to supply liquefied biomethane (bioLNG) for heavy and maritime transport, and biogenic CO₂ for industrial and agricultural applications.
After validating two laboratory pilots and deploying a TRL7 demonstrator on a farm, funded in the previous round, SUBLIME Energie is entering a new financing phase to reach the market. The next step will launch the first full-scale project, aggregating around ten digesters around a shared hub, making SUBLIME Energie the first French company to supply real bioLNG sourced directly from agricultural biogas.
