BIOFerm™ biogas plants create financial savings in many ways.

Energy Procurement Savings

By generating your own energy, owners of a BIOFerm™ plant take control of rising energy costs. With a known amount of production capability, a plant owner can be sure that they will be able to procure electricity, heat and/or fuel for a set price. This price will not fluctuate or increase, as is likely for the price of energy from traidtional resources, as you are the generator of your own power.

Carbon Credits & Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)

By reducing the amount of methane that is released into the atmosphere and generationg energy from renewable resources, BIOFerm™ systems produce two types of environmental credits, carbon credits and renewable energy credits. Voluntary and compliance markets for both of these credits exist in the United States and internationally. These credits can be used to meet compliance standards so plant owners can avoid costly fines imposed when the compliance standards are not met. Additionally, selling of unneeded credits results in a supplementary revenue stream.

Waste Disposal Savings

Because the amount of organic waste material is reduced after going through the anaerobic digestion process, significant costs savings can be found in the avoidance of disposal needs. For all organic waste that goes into the plant, only 60% of the volume is left over after digestion. This results in vast reductions in the amount of waste material that needs to be hauled away.
