NetXero
NetXero provides patent-pending hardware that captures dissolved methane from raw wastewater at the treatment plant inlet—10x earlier than competing systems—and converts it into clean electricity or grid gas. The self-powered unit achieves 95% biomethane purity, generates 420 MWh of surplus electricity per year, and is field-tested in five countries.

Problem
Every wastewater treatment plant globally releases methane continuously, contributing to climate change with a gas 82 times more potent than CO₂. Until now, no infrastructure existed to capture and monetize this emission source, leaving the world's 109,000 plants as unaddressed emitters.
Solution
NetXero provides patent-pending hardware that captures dissolved methane from raw wastewater at the treatment plant inlet—10x earlier than competing systems—and converts it into clean electricity or grid gas. The unit uses headspace vacuum degassing and purification to achieve 95% biomethane purity, is fully self-powered, and generates surplus electricity for grid supply. Its compact, modular design fits existing plants, installs in days, and scales by adding units. Field-tested in five countries, the technology delivers revenue from day one without disrupting existing operations or requiring new infrastructure. NetXero's roadmap extends beyond wastewater to other methane-intensive environments where dissolved methane is present.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal and private wastewater treatment plant operators, beginning with deployments in Ontario, Canada, and expanding to the 109,000 plants worldwide that release methane continuously.
