Biogas holds immense promise. However, traditional methods haven’t been accessible for small farms due to high costs or limitations on biogas volume. French startup SUBLIME Energie is revolutionizing this landscape.
The challenge lies in utilizing the vast amount of organic waste, primarily from farms, for biogas production. Existing methods are either expensive or require large gas quantities, excluding small farms from this renewable energy source. This results in a significant untapped potential for clean energy.
SUBLIME Energie tackles this challenge with a groundbreaking on-farm technology that liquefies biogas directly at the farm. This innovative process overcomes the limitations of traditional methods, making biogas production a viable option for even small farms.
The benefits are far-reaching. SUBLIME Energie’s approach unlocks a new income stream for small farms by making biogas production profitable. By capturing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from waste, they contribute significantly to reducing agricultural emissions. This captured methane can be transformed into bio-LNG, a clean fuel for trucks and tractors, further lowering emissions across the agricultural sector.
SUBLIME Energie embraces a circular economy approach. Their process reuses materials and creates digestate, a fertilizer that replaces fossil fuels used in fertilizer production. This translates to lower fertilizer costs and a more sustainable future for farms. Additionally, SUBLIME Energie’s technology creates local jobs and fosters economic activity in remote areas.
With promising results from their ongoing testing and refinement, SUBLIME Energie is poised to launch commercial installations by 2026. Their innovation paves the way for small farms to become active participants in the clean energy future.
