About Future Biogas

Helping industries lead the energy transition, today.

 

About us

We’re a UK leader in the design, development, construction and operation of anaerobic digestion plants that produce clean, sustainable biomethane.

By converting locally grown rotational energy crops into biogases, Future Biogas supports local farmers, a circular economy and the transition to a low-carbon future, whilst giving companies a viable route to decarbonise their operations. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and rural partnerships, Future Biogas enables organisations to reduce emissions, enhance energy security, and meet net-zero goals through reliable, scalable, and environmentally responsible biogas solutions that can displace fossil fuels today without the need to change existing infrastructure.

 
Biogas - Not just renewable. Responsible.

Biogas can go further, enabling net-zero or even carbon negative solutions.

Future Biogas is one of the only companies ready to offer fully-additional, high-quality, reliable projects to fit your organisation’s needs.

We don’t try to be everything to everyone. We have a focused business and reputation for designing, building and operating biogas plants, and with a proven track record and sector-leading reputation.
