We are a small / medium sized private consulting firm, working on sustainable energy solutions. Besides industry and utilities we do a lot of work in agricultural biogas. For more than 15 years now we are involved in different types of biogas plants. Our company does (pre-) feasibilities studies; business plan preparation; project planning & – development; process optimizations. So from the very initial idea up to optimizing of a running plant, we can assist farmers or companies at all stages.

We do our consulting work as an independent company, which enables us to look for the best solution for the client at all circumstances.
