Our journey began three years ago with a simple question: Is it possible to increase biogas production per kilogram on a smaller scale? Through designing and executing a series of experiments with different types of food waste, and focusing on bio-chemical kinetics, we achieved promising results. We validated our technology across various locations, which led to eliminating the need for natural gas or electricity costs.
Benerg’s technology and business model are designed to address three key areas simultaneously: providing off-grid energy in line with decentralization, managing food waste while reducing carbon footprints, and producing organic fertilizer from fully-fermented food waste to support agricultural ecosystems. By deploying our solutions, we are proud to contribute to the EU’s carbon neutrality goals.
Benerg graduated from the Startbootcamp Renewable Energy and Net-Zero program in 2024 and joined Urban Tech Helsinki in the same year.
Buildings generating at least 10 kg of food waste per day can reduce their carbon footprint, save on energy bills, and cut waste disposal costs by using Benerg’s safe, reliable, and highly sophisticated building-scale biogas machines.
Building scalable biogas machines that efficiently converts food waste into energy.
