About Bluemethane

The problem we're solving:

Water companies and biogas producers are having trouble meeting emissions targets and reducing the carbon footprint of their bioenergy. They also need to improve efficiency as bioenergy sales margins shrink. On top of this, strict regulations require them to report emissions, including methane from their waste streams.

Our solution:

Bluemethane's methane capture technology recovers residual methane already produced and sitting in the waste stream. This increases biogas production, decreases the carbon intensity of bioenergy and mitigates scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

Our differentiator:

Bluemethane recovers the most methane using minimal energy. As there are no chemicals, heat, or membranes, our technology holds the potential to be scaled to address the global methane crisis and provides plausible mean to wastewater methane-to-energy network.

Our biggest achievement:

Bluemethane recovered 1 tonne of CO2e of methane from a customer site in Q4 2024, with its FOAK pilot plant. We had a buyer for that first credit at £350 per tonne of CO2e.
