NetXero
NetXero provides patent-pending hardware that captures dissolved methane from raw wastewater at the treatment plant inlet and converts it into clean electricity or grid gas. The self-powered unit purifies methane to 95% biomethane, generates surplus electricity, and is field-tested in five countries.

Problem
Wetland methane is a critical yet overlooked climate threat, with wetlands emitting an estimated 190 million tonnes of methane annually—a gas with 30 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide. This methane is released into the atmosphere before it can be captured, contributing significantly to global warming while representing a wasted energy resource.
Solution
NetXero provides proprietary hardware that captures dissolved methane from raw wastewater and converts it directly into clean electricity or pipeline-ready grid gas. The machine filters methane-saturated water, extracts the dissolved gas, and feeds it into a generator that produces renewable power. Each unit mitigates 90 kg of methane daily while generating enough electricity to power up to 150 households, using only 12 kWh of energy to filter 375 m³ of water. The company operates as both a technology provider and strategic consultancy, deploying solutions across the US, UK, and global markets to stabilize energy expenses while addressing a major climate contributor.
Target Audience
Primary customers include wastewater treatment plants, energy utilities, grid operators, and environmental agencies seeking renewable power generation and methane mitigation solutions, as well as government and corporate sustainability programs targeting greenhouse gas reduction.
