Biogas microbiology involves microorganisms with diverse physiological traits, establishing interactions and networks in microbial communities. It is therefore a complex and broad topic.

Biogas generation occurs in natural and engineered man-made systems. Knowledge on physiology and diversity of these microorganisms is pivotal to better control the biogas generation in those systems impacting both renewable energy production and methane emissions in nature.

The 4^th International Conference on Biogas Microbiology will bring together scientists from microbiology and engineering domains, linking life and technology to shape the future of biogas.

This conference is the 4^th of a series of conferences on biogas microbiology (Leipzig, Germany 2011, Uppasala, Sweden 2014, and Wageningen, The Netherlands 2017). In 2022, it will be organized in Braga, Portugal, at Altice Forum Braga, in a joint organization of University of Minho and University of Santiago de Compostela.
