Summary:
The company from Israel provides a breakthrough solution for the production of renewable energy – biogas, from livestock waste. The solution offers increased energy while removing the polluting elements present from the effluent stream (digestate). The company is looking to sell their technology through distributors and build biogas plants with partners with a joint venture agreement, licence agreement or commercial agency agreement.
Description:
The biogas market is well developed with more than 18,000 plants in Europe. However, many plants suffer from low profitability, due to the high operating costs of the plant, especially for the management of digestate discharge.
The main obstacle that biogas developers face is the difficulty in digestate management. Digestate is loaded with nitrogen and phosphorus which need to be properly treated to meet regulatory requirements. These components are known to be harmful to animal, agriculture and human life. This is what the company comes to solve, in addition to the increased biogas yield.
With the company’s innovative process, the digestate is neutralised and can then be spread as is where regulation permits it, with no need for storage, thereby generating significant savings.
Moreover, the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the digestate allows farmers to spread their digestate on much smaller areas and yet stay compliant with the regulation. This is especially relevant for small farmers, where the land available for spreading is somewhat limited.
The Israeli company’s solution includes a remote monitoring service, which enables the plant to stay in an optimal state of production.
The company is currently developing an additional solution which will enable custom-made, end-to-end solutions for renewable energy production based on microbiome management via a unique predictive model. The solution will offer microbial and biochemical supplements, that will be provided by the company, in order to reach full biogas production potential of the anaerobic digestion process. The company is looking for partners that could benefit from its solutions (by building or operating biogas plants for instance) through joint venture, license or commercial agency agreements. The company is also looking for partners to distribute the company’s technology to biogas developers and livestock farms and represent the company on local markets.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for Distribution/Commercial/Technology Partners in the field of Biogas production and nutrient recovery in order to penetrate the European market with its innovative technology and therefore considers the following cooperation types:
- Joint Venture Agreement and/or License Agreement and/or Commercial Agency Agreement
The company is looking for biogas developers and livestock farms as its strategic partners & primary customers in order to build and operate biogas plants based on the company’s innovative technology.
- Distribution services agreement
The company is looking for distributors on the local markets who will be able to sell the company’s technology to biogas developers and livestock farms, as well as represent the company on the local market. The partner should be familiar with the requirements and regulations of the local customers and have an established customer base.
Stage of Development:
Already on the market
Comments Regarding Stage of Development:
The company already has a plant in production in Israel and works with strategic partners in Europe to deliver projects there.
