Problem
Many businesses lack efficient and cost-effective solutions for managing food waste, leading to increased disposal costs and environmental impact. Traditional waste disposal methods contribute to landfill overflow and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the potential for energy recovery from food waste is often untapped.
Solution
Benerg offers scalable biogas systems designed to convert food waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer directly on-site. These systems utilize anaerobic digestion to process between 10 kg and 120 kg of daily food waste, producing biogas that can be converted into electricity or heat. The technology operates independently of the grid, allowing integration into a building's existing energy management infrastructure. As a byproduct, the system generates organic fertilizer, creating a closed-loop waste management solution. An integrated IoT system monitors operations 24/7, ensuring optimal performance and enabling remote maintenance.
Target Audience
Benerg's primary customers are businesses and organizations that generate significant amounts of food waste, including restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, and institutional facilities, seeking to reduce waste disposal costs and generate renewable energy.
