Sustainable

Win-win for farmer and climate

Sustainability is very important to us.

Not only do we work towards sustainability with our end product, but it is an integral part of all our business processes; it is woven into our DNA.

Fresh slurry is central to our process.

We therefore help farmers ferment manure on the farm so that we can ferment the manure hourly and thereby have maximum positive impact on greenhouse gas emissions. This eliminates the need for manure transport and co-products. Maize and other fodder is best passed through the cow’s stomach first.

Our solutions require no transport movements. Everything can be automated like this, you don’t have to set up time-consuming administration for it and you get a fertiliser you know like no other. The manure of your own animals. Only your own animals.

The energy the plant uses for e.g. pumps and mixers is generated green.

* For a type of dairy farm of 120 dairy cows producing 10 000 l of milk per cow per year

We are not just looking at making the best use of a waste stream. We are also critical of ourselves, the materials we purchase and our internal processes.

For instance, we use the energy from our test post to power the desks.

PWC, Trends and the Antwerp Management School rewarded us as “Most sustainable SME in Belgium in 2022”.

We optimise our product for sustainability in all its facets.

We deliberately choose sustainable materials, such as 10cm thick insulation in our silos for maximum heat recovery.

A catalytic converter on the engine and a flare for excess gases to even reusing 20-foot shipping containers.

And again with a technical guarantee. Because it has to work. Otherwise, it is not sustainable.

We optimised our production so that transport fits on just one truck, minimising our carbon footprint.

As a company, Biolectric has been fully carbon neutral since 2020, offsetting our emissions with 20 of our own plants.

We strongly believe in practice.

Sustainable Development Goals

Promote sustainable agriculture​

Circular agriculture puts residual flows to productive use on-farm and/or off-farm. Our plants convert manure into electricity and heat. The remaining digestate is nutritious and gets a second life on the farm (e.g. field fertiliser and barn coverings).

Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Generating energy requires a lot from our planet, but the demand for energy is rising worldwide. Farmers with biogas plant tackle at once. They extract green energy from manure ánd can keep harmful emissions out of the atmosphere. Farms have a stable manure supply, generating energy constantly.

Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

Biolectric is achieving an annual growth rate of about 50%. In this way, we can create a lot of jobs in Belgium and across national borders. By expanding our international team, we manage to ensure diversity and leverage the inclusive nature of our business.

Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

We go to great lengths to produce responsibly from A to Z. Not only our plant, but also the production process is climate-friendly. From recycled shipping containers to single-truck transport, sustainability is the common thread.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Climate change is not letting up, so neither are we. Our farmers design their farms today according to tomorrow's agriculture.

Strengthen implementation resources and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development

We work with dairy cooperatives from different countries to make our impact bigger. By joining forces with those of our partners, we can achieve sustainable agriculture on a large scale.
