Our journey began 3 years ago, and started with asking this question: is it possible to increase biogas production per kg on a smaller scale? Designing experimentation and executing those serial experiments with different types of food waste, and working on bio-chemical kinetics resulted in promising results. We validated our technology in different locations, which resulted in no cost for either natural gas or electricity.

Benerg’s technology and business model are developed to contribute 3 important landscapes at the same time, including: providing off-grid energy in line with decentralization, disposing of food waste and contributing to carbon footprint reduction, and organic fertilizer production from fully fermented food waste to support the agricultural ecosystem. By deploying our solutions, we are excited to have an opportunity 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 2024.

Buildings that produce at least 10kg of food waste per day can decrease their carbon footprint, save money on energy bills, and reduce their waste cost by using safe, reliable, highly sophisticated Benerg’s building-scale biogas machine.
