A Biolectric CHP converts biogas into electricity and heat.
You can use the electricity on your farm, and any surplus can be exported to the grid. The heat can be used in your home, barn or greenhouse, or for things like drying grass or processing digestate. There are practical uses for the heat on most farms.
The system can store biogas and use it when it suits your farm, just like a battery.
This can be done on farms with at least 100 cows.
On a farm with around 120 cows, this can produce around 176,000 kWh of electricity per year. At €0.20 per kWh, this could generate around €35,000 per year in electricity income.
The process starts with fresh slurry fed in regularly. We ferment that into biogas.
An age-old process.
In a combined heat and power (CHP) unit, we convert the biogas into electricity and heat.
This CHP is the heart of our installation.
Around this, we’ve developed a standardised system.
A silo for the manure, a twenty-foot container for the CHP, and all the automation.

The SMART system can turn your digester into a battery. When you have overcapacity, it allows you to build a gas buffer. This gas buffer allows you to adjust energy production to suit your needs via the MyBiolectric app.
Fully customize your energy production to your business needs. Milking, stripping, or heating? You can guarantee production at specific times when it suits you best.
There are 4 major circuits controlled by the MyBiolectric app. All these flows are monitored and automated at various points by the application.
Digestate, derived from the breakdown of animal manure, serves as a liquid, alternative fertilizer that enriches the soil with essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, while also minimizing odor nuisance. This product provides crops with both immediate and long-term nutrition through a combination of rapidly available mineral nitrogen and slowly released organic nitrogen, making it an effective means to reduce dependency on synthetic fertilizers.
Generate your own energy and sell your surplus to the neighbourhood.
Your animals feed the manure, the plant does the rest.
You manage your installation in a few clicks, from anywhere.
Building the installation takes 3 days on average.
At least 90% technical return, for 15 years.
"A smart investment that paid off faster than promised."
"Our automated installation only takes a few minutes a day. Feel free to come and have a look."
Manure is always available, 24/7, regardless of whether the sun shines or the wind blows.
Your biogas functions as the most economical battery and makes you, the farmer, independent from fluctuating and rising energy prices.
Lower your energy bill and sell excess energy.
When you have overcapacity, you could optimize your production with our SMART algorithm
Transform manure into digestate.
After thick-thin separation, one of the best box litters for cows.
As a fertiliser, a less strong odour and much better absorption of NPKs due to increased fluidity.
That way, you also save on fertiliser.
Thanks to a high degree of automation and the Biolectric maintenance subscription with technical guarantee, daily follow-up is limited to a maximum of 15 minutes.
This allows you to stay focused on caring for animals and crops.
Using fresh slurry on-farm can cut methane emissions by up to 82%.
And that requires neither manure transport nor maize or other co-products.
We don’t rely on maize or energy crops – just the slurry you already produce.
