Energy Sources and Services
Biogas and liquefied biogas (LBG/bio-LNG)
Renewable energy source produced by anaerobic digestion of bio-waste, manure and residues from agriculture and the food industry, used as a fuel and process energy.
Natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG)
Energy source for industry, shipping and heavy transport, liquefied at −162 °C with a 600-fold reduced volume for storage and transport.
E-methane
Synthetic, fully renewable energy source produced via power-to-gas processes using green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂.
Biogödsel (organic fertiliser)
Nutrient-rich digestate of high hygienic quality, largely approved for organic farming.
