Meta Energy joins WBA

We are pleased to announce that Meva Energy is now a new member of the World Bioenergy Association.

Meva Energy provides a gasification technology that can play an important role in the manufacturing industry’s shift towards renewable energy production. This technology utilizes locally generated biogenic waste streams from the manufacturing industry, converting lowquality biomass into high-quality biogas with biochar as a side-stream. 

The biogas is utilized by the manufacturing industry for the renewable energy production for process heating, to replace fossil gas, or for production of power and heat, named as combined heat and power plant. Biochar, a porous material with a very large surface area and high carbon content, is today accepted by the EU Commission as a CDR technology and used for carbon sequestration when used e.g. as a soil amendment. Additionally, biochar can substitute fossil coal in various products and industrial processes, contributing to a reduction in fossil fuel dependency. 

Meva Energy’s gasification technology offers a unique opportunity for manufacturing industries not only to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions but to achieve negative emissions, if the application of the biochar constitutes as a permanent carbon removal.
