About Nature Energy
Nature Energy is market leader in turning many million tonnes of biomass into green, CO2 neutral gas as effectively as possible. We collect and deliver biomass from businesses, agriculture and households and return the degassed biomass to the agriculture that recycles nutrients. This is circular economy at its best. At the same time, we always make sure that the surrounding community around our biogas plants remains as undisturbed as possible by transport and odours.
Nature Energy is already making a big difference in the green transition, but our ambitions are even bigger. That is why Nature Energy is investing intensively in research, including our own laboratory at our head office in Odense. The laboratory is a site for research into refining the technology so that we can extract even more energy from biomass and produce even better fertiliser for agriculture. The laboratory is also doing research in new biomasses for production of green, CO2 neutral energy in the future.
