Green energy with biogas

By choosing products from Biogem, you not only reduce CO2 emissions but also take an active step towards a more sustainable future - with energy on the planet's terms.

Biogas as a Gamechanger for Your ESG Strategy

Companies with high energy consumption face increasing demands to reduce their carbon footprint and strengthen ESG reporting. Biogem offers biogas solutions that can make a significant difference in achieving your company’s sustainability goals.

By switching to biogas, your company can:

  • Enhance ESG reporting with guarantees of origin that document the use of green energy and ensure compliance with EU regulations.
  • Reduce Scope 2 emissions by using 100% CO₂-neutral energy in production.
  • Positively influence Scope 3 emissions by requiring green solutions from your suppliers.

With biogas from Biogem, you can not only reduce the need for CO₂ allowances but also position your company as a leader in sustainable production and responsible energy use.

Biogas as a Green Driver for the Transport Sector

The transport sector is undergoing a green transition where demands for CO₂ reduction and sustainable solutions are crucial for the future. Biogas is the ideal solution for heavy transport, combining sustainability with economic benefits.

With biogas from Biogem, your company can:

  • Achieve significant CO₂ reduction and actively contribute to the green transition.
  • Reduce operational costs with a stable and economically attractive energy source.
  • Access a tailored solution with the option of an on-site fueling station, ensuring convenient and efficient fuel supply for biogas trucks and vehicles.

Biogem is your partner in the transition to green energy and a more sustainable transport sector. Let us help you take the next step toward a stronger and greener business.

Biogas (bio-methane)

Choose Danish climate-neutral biogas, an integrated part of the circular ecosystem that makes a difference. Through this choice, you contribute to making the Danish food and agriculture industry more sustainable by transforming biological waste into a local, green energy source.

Gain access to our 15 years of expertise in the establishment and operation of Bio-CNG (compressed biogas) filling stations for the transport and shipping industry, or simply have biogas delivered via the existing pipeline or by tank truck for use in your production facilities.

Origin Guarantee (GoO)

All biogas from Biogem is delivered with origin guarantees issued by Energinet, ensuring that our biogas meets the Energy Agency's sustainability requirements for biomass for biogas. This means that we can document compliance with the Renewable Energy II Directive's requirements. If additional documentation is needed, we can also provide certifications according to the REDcert or ISCC standards.

In other words, we can guarantee that the gas you use is fully covered by the climate-neutral biogas that we have supplied to the gas grid from our own and 25 collaborating Danish biogas plants.

Try us - also without changing gas supplier

It doesn't matter to our dialogue whether you currently receive gas on contract from another supplier. Our origin guarantees, also referred to as GoOs, replace the need for mandatory purchase of emission permits in the form of CO2 quotas.

What is biogas?

Biogas consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and is formed when naturally occurring gut bacteria digest organic material in oxygen-free environments.

Biogas is produced when livestock manure and organic waste products are added to a biogas plant, which consists of a series of tanks without oxygen. 

The biomass used primarily comes from livestock manure, but can also consist of by-products from the food industry, including slaughterhouse waste, and other sources such as household waste. Additionally, by-products from agriculture, including straw, are used.

At Biogem, it is prioritised that the product comes from waste to make it as sustainable as possible and to avoid using biological material that could be used in other ways, such as within the food industry.

How is biogas produced?

First, the biomass is transported to a facility where the manure is processed through anaerobic digestion.

In addition to animal manure, solid organic materials such as slaughterhouse waste, food waste, or straw are added. In the digestion process, the organic material is broken down under anaerobic conditions in the biogas tank, resulting in the formation of methane and carbon dioxide. During this process, about half of the carbon is broken down, leaving a quantity of digested biomass that can be used as fertilizer in the fields. This ensures the recycling of nutrients.

The digested biomass is used as fertilizer. In biogas plants, the value of animal manure as fertilizer is improved, and at the same time, the risk of nutrient loss to the aquatic environment is reduced. Additionally, the digested biomass smells significantly less than slurry when crops are fertilized. 

At the same time, biogas plants ensure the recycling of nutrients in organic waste, which is important for future food supply, as some of the nutrients that plants need are scarce resources.

What can biogas do? Biogas has many different applications. Biogas has traditionally been used in combined heat and power plants, where it is converted into electricity and district heating using a gas engine. Since 2013, the primary application of the increasing biogas production has been upgrading, which means the removal of the CO2 content of biogas, after which the methane content (CH4) is pumped into the gas grid. Thus, biogas replaces natural gas, which is good for the climate. In addition, biogas can be used for heavy transport, where it can help replace fossil fuels, which also contributes to reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Biogas as Circular Economy

Biogas production is a circular economy in its purest form. Organic waste is used for heating and transport, and the by-product is used as fertilizer in the fields. This helps to provide the soil with new nutrients that assist new crops in growing, some of which are used as animal feed.

In this way, the cycle comes full circle, offering a climate-friendly alternative to fossil products and serving as a resource supplement to wind and solar energy, which is not dependent on whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.

In biogas production, one avoids net emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Thus, biogas is part of the cluster of climate-neutral energy sources along with solar energy, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy, and nuclear power, all of which contribute to reducing the use of fossil fuels.

Biogas also contributes to maintaining balance in a broader perspective, as it is not produced in a way that depletes natural resources, nor does it harm ecosystems in the long term or the social and economic development of future generations.

The Green Energy Transition of Companies

Biogas provides an important tool for the company's transition to green energy. In addition to obtaining stable, sustainable energy for production and transport, biogas customers at Biogem also receive guarantees of origin (GoOs), which document where the product comes from and that it is covered by the biogas that Biogem has supplied to the gas grid.

Furthermore, cost savings can also be achieved when companies switch to biogas as part of their energy transition.

If they are already using natural gas in production, a switch to green biogas can occur without additional costs – and thus significantly cheaper than a transition to other forms of energy.

Also, regarding biogas as an energy source for transport, the transition from diesel trucks is much cheaper if one chooses biogas trucks over the alternatives.
