Innovation Unit
Building, Energy and Environment (BeeGroup)
BEE Group researches biodigesters that turn organic waste into clean biogas and fertilizer, advancing circular economy, reducing emissions, and supporting sustainable energy and waste management solutions.
Decentralized biogas production through Anaerobic Digestion (AD) emerges as a sustainable solution for in situ waste valorization and inclusive rural development. This technology transforms organic waste—such as manure and agricultural residues—at the source where it is generated, producing renewable energy (biogas) and high-value biofertilizers (digestate) for local use. This approach avoids transporting large volumes of waste and by-products, minimizing the carbon footprint and efficiently closing loops at the local level.
At BEE Group, we research and promote low-cost, scalable, and socially responsive anaerobic digestion technologies, which are the cornerstone of decentralization. Our work focuses on optimizing designs such as tubular biodigesters, integrating passive solar heating, monitoring strategies, and developing implementation models that minimize GHG emissions.
Our research contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—particularly affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), climate action (SDG 13), and industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9). We explore innovations in co-digestion of multiple waste streams, techno-economic and environmental assessment, and the systemic integration of biodigesters into rural economies, building resilient, self-sufficient, low-carbon communities.
