EXCELLENCE IN BIOGAS

The Greek philosopher Aristotle explains excellence or virtue (arete) in terms of fulfilment of purpose:

"The excellence of the horse makes a horse both good in itself and good at running and at carrying its rider."

Aristotle, 350 BCE

Asia biogas commitment

The Asia Biogas team is committed to making an outsized and direct contribution to tackling climate change by designing excellent, cost-effective biogas systems and maximising biogas production from agricultural and organic waste.

In 2024 the Government of India announced compulsory blending of compressed biomethane gas (CBG) into natural gas to cut reliance on fossil fuels and imported LNG. Initially 1% CBG will be blended rising to 5% by 2028. Asia Biogas commends the foresight of Indian policymakers and hopes Southeast Asian countries will follow.

Design & Construction

Asia Biogas has decades of experience design and building anaerobic digestion biogas systems in Southeast Asia. We operate the systems that we build: our experience as a biogas plant operator is an advantage for our EPC clients. We know what works, what is reliable and what performs best in a hot and humid tropical environment.

Operation & Maintenance

We have decades of experience as an operator including at the largest biogas plant in Thailand. All our operating experience is in hot and humid tropical conditions. In this region, our understanding of biogas operations is best in class. In the last 3 years we refurbished and re-covered three old covered lagoon digesters in Thailand.

Carbon Offsets

We have UNFCCC-registered Certified Emission Reductions available for sale for carbon offset purposes. We offer impact carbon offset buyers a promise: we will re-invest 100% of carbon revenues in biogas systems thereby maximizing impact.

BUILD Own Operate

We have a long history of developing biogas projects in the cassava starch and palm oil industries on a build own operate transfer basis. In 2002 we completed Thailand’s first cassava starch wastewater BOT project – Korat Waste to Energy. Now some three quarters of cassava starch factories in Thailand use biogas as their primary source of thermal energy.

COMPRESSED BIOMETHANE GAS

Biogas – a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide – can be upgraded to provide a reliable supply of biomethane or renewable natural gas. This clean, carbon-negative fuel can replace fossil fuel natural gas. With assistance of grants from the Thai department of alternative energy development and efficiency and Finland’s foreign ministry we completed our first CBG project in Rayong Thailand in 2019.

PALM OIL BIOGAS CLUSTER PROJECT

Our focus in Indonesia and Malaysia is to help palm oil mills to capture methane and produce biogas. Indonesia’s palm oil mill waste can produce some 5 billion Nm3 of methane or about 13% of its natural gas demand. Capturing methane will cut potent greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent per annum and help the palm oil industry to produce palm oil more sustainably.
