What RealGreen Power does
RealGreen Power, Inc. is a privately held Honolulu-based company founded in 2009 that develops and deploys proprietary, patented anaerobic digestion technology (Bio-Nest reactors) to transform agricultural, industrial, and municipal wastewater into clean water, renewable methane biogas (60-80% methane composition), electric power, usable heat, and NPK fertilizer in a single integrated, zero-waste process. The company's core RGP Systems platform is modular and incrementally scalable across a 4,000 gpd to over 13 million gpd range, serving breweries, food and beverage processors, dairies, CAFOs, sugar mills, ethanol distilleries, and municipal sewage treatment centers, and is complemented by Mobile Toilet Solutions (MTS), self-contained modular sanitation units with on-board treatment and Pay-Per-Use cashless payment capability. The business derives revenue from system design, engineering and operational services, system sales and leasing, sale of produced biogas and reclaimed water to utilities and end users, and fertilizer sales, with execution supported by a network of Hawaii-anchored industry partners including AECOM, Hawaii American Water, Pacific Biodiesel, and the University of Hawaii Office of Technology Transfer.

Revenue model
- Wastewater Treatment Systems (Design, Engineering & Operations): RGP provides design, engineering and operational solutions for businesses with wastewater problems and clean-water needs. RGP tailors its technology to source, volume and content of wastewater effluent, including site-specific design-build, expansion and operational consulting. Revenue is derived from system design, engineering fees, and potentially ongoing operational services.
- Modular Toilet System (MTS) Sales and Leasing: MTS units are available for sale or lease beginning mid-2016. Costs for ownership and maintenance are competitive with portable toilets. Pay-Per-Use configuration accepting cashless payment methods provides an additional revenue stream.
- Renewable Energy and Utility Products: RGP generates revenue by building and operating power plants in the U.S. and internationally. Its systems provide renewable baseload energy, and the produced biogas can be sold to local utility companies. Reclaimed water can also be sold for irrigation and industrial uses.
- Fertilizer (NPK) Sales: Nitrogen, phosphates and potassium liberated during the anaerobic treatment process are sold as a replacement for granular fertilizers. Revenue is generated when treated waters are reused for growing crops.

RealGreen Power product offering
Product offeringCore offering
RealGreen Power designs, engineers, and operates modular wastewater treatment systems built on its patented anaerobic digestion technology. The company's Bio-Nest reactor-based systems transform agricultural, industrial, and municipal wastewater into clean/reclaimed water, renewable methane biogas, electric power, heat, and NPK fertilizer. It also sells and leases Mobile Toilet Solutions (MTS), self-contained modular sanitation units with on-board sewage treatment for camps, military bases, parks, and urban centers.
Product overview
RealGreen Power offers a unified technology platform centered on proprietary patented anaerobic bioreactor technology that transforms wastewater into clean water and renewable energy. The core RGP Systems platform provides modular, scalable wastewater treatment (from 4,000 gpd to over 13 million gpd) producing multiple outputs including reclaimed water, potable water, renewable methane biogas, electric power, heat, and NPK fertilizer. The company delivers this through its primary product offerings: Mobile Toilet Solutions (modular sanitation units for camps, military, parks, and urban centers with on-board sewage treatment), and large-scale RGP Systems installations for breweries, dairies, CAFOs, sugar mills, municipal sewage, and other industrial applications. Bio-Nest reactors and denitrification treatment systems serve as the underlying technology components powering these solutions.

RealGreen Power competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Clean Energy Fuels Corp. Clean Energy Fuels is the largest US RNG off-taker and dairy/biogas project investor, deeply linked to the same anaerobic-digestion-to-RNG value chain that RGP's biogas output feeds into. Comparable as a channel partner and competitor for RNG monetization in agricultural and waste streams.
- Xylem Inc. Xylem provides pumps, monitoring and treatment hardware for water and wastewater networks (Flygt, Wedeco, Evoqua assets). Comparable as an incumbent supplier across RGP's water/wastewater customer base though Xylem is broader in scope and does not specialize in AD biogas platforms.
- Brightmark LLC: Brightmark develops organic-waste-to-RNG project platforms (including dairy biogas), directly overlapping RGP's biogas-to-RNG and AD value proposition in the same agricultural and food-waste feedstocks, and competing for project capital and off-take agreements.
- Veolia Water Technologies: Veolia is one of the largest water and wastewater utilities and EPC players, operating sewage treatment and sludge AD plants globally. Comparable as the dominant incumbent in the same municipal/industrial end markets RGP targets, with significantly broader scope and balance sheet.
- Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI): HZI is a global EPC for AD/biogas plants and waste-to-energy facilities, with overlapping technology and customer base in municipal solid waste, food waste and agricultural feedstocks. Comparable as an established project-delivery incumbent for large-scale anaerobic biogas facilities.
- Suez Water Technologies & Solutions: Suez is a global water/wastewater and resource-recovery incumbent operating large municipal and industrial treatment plants; broadly comparable to RGP's municipal and industrial wastewater AD offerings though Suez's portfolio extends across drinking water, desalination and waste handling well beyond AD.
Direct peers
- Anaergia Inc. Anaergia is a closely comparable direct peer: it builds anaerobic digestion and biogas-to-RNG facilities that convert organic waste (food waste, biosolids, agricultural residues) into renewable energy and fertilizer — directly overlapping RGP's core AD/biogas/NPK proposition and serving similar industrial and municipal customers.
- Fluence Corporation: Fluence delivers modular and decentralized wastewater and AD treatment systems (MABR, anaerobic, packaged plants), directly comparable to RGP's modular scalable anaerobic platform and its MTS modular toilet units in terms of component-based delivery and rapid deployment model.
- Cambrian Innovation: Cambrian Innovation commercializes EcoNexus, a wastewater-to-energy AD platform that produces reusable water and renewable biogas from industrial wastewater streams (food/beverage, breweries, dairy). It targets the same high-strength industrial wastewater customers as RGP and competes on multi-output economics.
- DVO Inc. DVO is a specialized AD/biogas supplier focused on dairy, manure and agricultural waste streams — directly comparable to RGP's CAFO, dairy and farm-wastewater value proposition with overlapping anaerobic technology and RNG-byproduct economics.
