How it Works


Nature Does the Hard Work. We Just Help.

As part of the natural decomposition process, microbes break down the compounds in animal waste and produce carbon-based gases.  Unless they are captured, these gases, which contribute to global warming, escape into the atmosphere.

 

BioEnergy Solutions puts the work of these microbes to good use.  Manure is collected in a holding area, which is sealed to create an anaerobic (oxygen-free) atmosphere that accelerates and increases the bacterial activity.  The methane gas produced by the natural digestive process of these microbes is collected and “scrubbed” to create renewable natural gas that power plants use to produce electricity.

Ours is a “technology neutral” approach, which means that we offer different methods to produce the desired results.  We look closely at the operations of each farmer or food processor and design a system that works best for them rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.  We install, operate and maintain the system at our expense, then share revenues from the sale of gas and carbon credits with the farmer.  

In the end, everyone wins:  farmers realize new revenue while reducing harmful air emissions; power companies get needed help in their efforts to meet new requirements for using renewable resources; the environment is spared from tons of greenhouse gases; and yes, we benefit too from our development of innovative approaches to these environmental challenges. 

Dairy farms are ideal candidates for BioEnergy Solutions systems because of the volume and composition of the waste they produce.  In many cases, the needed waste collection systems are already in place.  To see if your farm or agricultural business can benefit from a BioEnergy Solutions system, contact us.
