COMPO-BALL at the AD Europe 2011
The European Compost Network and Cre hosted AD Europe 2011- International Anaerobic Digestion conference and trade fair in Dublin on the 24 & 25 February 2011. The conference had 290 attendees from across the world, including 30 speakers from over 15 countries. Key note speakers were from the European Commission, the European Investment Bank, the American Biogas Council and the Canadian Composting Council.
The conference topics discussed included economics, how to optimise biogas yield, digestate uses, status of industry across Europe, biomethane, case studies and success stories.
At the conference was a research project area here there was an exhibition stand for the ‘COMPO-BALL‘ project. The photos show Nora Goldstein (Biocycle/American Biogas Council) & Percy Foster (Cre) at the COMPO-BALL stand.

As a follow up to the Spanish EU presidency the Institute for the Sustainability of Resources ISR organised in cooperation with ORBIT/ECN the ORBIT Special 2011. It was arranged as an international congress about soils and organic matter from waste in the context of requests coming from the latest waste legislation on 24 – 26th Nov. 2010. The event addressed a multiplicity of aspects, such as waste prevention, separate collection, the use of compost and digestate into the soil and energy recovery from methane and hydrogen. It showed the benefits of composting as a preferred organics recycling option to the Spanish and international audience with arround 200 participants.
The Executive Director of the European Compost Network ECN Dr. Stefanie Siebert used the opportunity to introduce Compo-Ball in the poster area to participants – here an Estonian researcher from the Agricultural University.
The “COMPOBALL” solution
The FP7 project COMPOBALL develops an on-line wireless system called “SensoBall” for the sensor-based measurement of temperature and moisture at various points in the composting material. The proposed solution consists of a set of independent sensor nodes. The nodes will not require any external connections to feed or read the sensors and will be encapsulated in an inert material.
