About Us
BIOFerm™ has been a member of the Viessmann Group, one of the internationally leading manufacturers of heating systems, since 2007. With 350 biogas plants globally, we can realise international projects in the closest proximity to our customers.
BIOFerm™ offers a comprehensive range of digester technologies to process a variety of feedstocks. A crucial benefit of our service is that the client only need to refer to one contact for the entire project; from the initial consultation to viability considerations and the overall concept design through to project implementation and commissioning.
Every year, millions of tons of organic waste are tossed into landfills and release harmful greenhouse gas emissions. In 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported 40% of the American food supply was thrown out, making it the single largest contributor to landfills. Not only does this result in long-term damage to our climate and environment, but it also wastes one of earth’s valuable resources—biogas.
At BIOFerm™ Energy Systems, we cannot allow so much potential for clean, usable energy to literally go to waste. BIOFerm™ Energy Systems is a Madison-based renewable energy company committed to providing sustainable solutions to organic waste management. Our technology harnesses the naturally produced gas emissions rising from fermenting organic materials, like food waste, grass clippings, manure and other organic waste, and converts it into valuable renewable energy.
Biogas generated through anaerobic digestion provides a vital alternative to fossil energy, along with solar and wind. But, unlike other sources, it is independent of weather and is available all year round—24/7. It can be used onsite for heating, cooling and electricity needs, stored and converted into natural gas to be used as a vehicle fuel, or sold back to the grid as electricity.
BIOFerm™ technology is based off anaerobic digestion (AD), and offers completely new opportunities, particularly for municipal operations. Rather than paying for waste disposal, which can be expensive, our plants turn waste into energy which can be sold, while helping the environment. BIOFerm™ Energy System belongs to the Viessmann Group which has an annual international sales volume of 2.8 billion dollars and employs over 11,600 people worldwide.
