Bio Energy

Renewable energy as a future perspective

As part of the energy transition, the government aims to make the Netherlands one of Europe's most sustainable countries. The aim is to develop an energy system with minimal CO2 emissions, using energy from renewable sources as much as possible and, where this is not yet possible, using fossil fuels as cleanly as possible. A major and essential challenge is to develop innovative solutions for sectors such as shipping, aviation and industry, which cannot easily be made sustainable with solar and wind energy alone.

Bioclear earth is playing an active role in this energy transition by researching sustainable energy production using biological processes to convert waste streams into valuable energy sources.

Energy from waste streams: the growth of biofermentation

In the renewable energy sector, bio-digestion is an increasingly popular topic.

Research by the European Biogas Association predicts that, in the coming decades, biogas production could account for 50% of the market. Once processed into biomethane, biogas can be used as a direct substitute for natural gas in existing gas networks. This offers significant potential to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and CO₂ emissions, as well as increasing our energy independence.

There is much potential when it comes to residual streams that can be used as ‘food’ for biodigesters. Think of flows from agriculture and food production such as animal manure, crop residues from arable farming, green waste from greenhouse horticulture, process water from the food industry, organic waste from households or natural and roadside grass. Biogas can also be obtained from flows originating from the waste chain, such as sludge from sewage treatment and the organic fraction recovered from household waste.

Who we work for

Governments and platform organisations with advisory, research and development issues relating to biofermentation, such as emissions, amfetamine formation, fermentation optimisation and monitoring.

Industrial parties with multiple fermenters, often co-fermenters, with questions about raw materials, process optimisation, process stabilisation, monitoring and assistance in the event of emergencies.

Investment companies, digester builders, raw material and additive suppliers.

Bioclear earth engages in a number of collaborative endeavours that contribute to the advancement of bioenergy and sustainable technologies. The following are examples of our current projects:

  • Micro4biogas: A collaborative consortium engaged in the optimisation of biogas production.
  • Power2Methane: A research project investigating the conversion of CO₂ to methane gas by microorganisms.
  • Greenstep: The on-site production of microorganisms for bio-digesters serves to enhance biodiversity, functionality and, consequently, the robustness and performance of the digester.
  • Due diligence projects.
