Because we want to make our blue planet a greener place

The biogas process

Biogas production uses the methane contained in organic material. Methane can replace natural gas and is also the cheapest way to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses from agriculture. Actually, degassed livestock manure is more efficient and less damaging to the aquatic environment than unprocessed manure.

An efficient process

During the processing of biogas, organic waste is transformed into green energy by using the greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide, which are up to 35 times more hazardous than CO₂. Methane can be transmitted directly into the gas network instead of natural gas, and the degassed organic material can be uses as manure in the fields.

Environmental benefits from biogas production

Biogas is a sustainable and CO2 neutral energy form. No fossil carbon is emitted when burning biogas as it is the case with coal, oil, and natural gas. The significant greenhouses gases methane and nitrous oxide are further collected and utilized. These gases are formed, when livestock manure is spread on fields without being processed in biogas plants. This makes the production of biogas the cheapest solution for reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.

 Another important factor is that degassed livestock manure has higher nitrogen energy efficiency on plants than unprocessed livestock manure, meaning that plants more easily absorb the nutrients in degassed livestock manure. The use of biogas therefore results in reduced nitrogen stripping into our groundwater.
