4 Reasons for waste processors to produce green gas

From organic waste to green gas   

As a waste processor, you receive large volumes of organic material daily, such as household organic waste (Dutch: GFT) and residual streams from industries like food production. This organic material can be converted into biogas, which is then upgraded to green gas. The green gas can be injected, or ‘fed’, into the natural gas network.

Why become a green gas supplier?   

The continuous intake of organic material presents unique opportunities to convert waste into green gas. In practice, there are four important reasons why waste processors choose to produce green gas:   

• Free raw material 
  You already receive waste and get paid for it, meaning the feedstock for green gas comes at no additional cost. 

• Circular energy production 
  Your company can position itself as a sustainable producer of renewable energy. 

• Additional revenue stream 
  Beyond waste processing, you can generate income from selling green gas. 

• Lower CO₂ emissions 
  Utilizing biogas from waste helps reduce CO₂ emissions and supports a more sustainable energy supply.   

Which waste streams are suitable for green gas production?   

There are several waste streams that waste processors can use to produce green gas, including:   

1. Household organic waste (Dutch: GFT)  
2. Industrial residual streams from food producers, such as breweries and cocoa factories.  

Economic benefits and a stronger circular economy   

By producing green gas, you can strengthen your role in the circular economy and contribute to a sustainable future, all while benefiting economically.
