What BiogasTec does
BiogasTec nv is a Belgian renewable energy company founded in 2005 in cooperation with its parent Trevi nv, headquartered in Gentbrugge, Belgium. The company builds and operates biogas installations under patented anaerobic digestion technology, converting biomass (mainly organic biological waste, manure, and energy crops) into biogas, which is then combusted in gas engines with cogeneration to produce green electricity and heat. As of 2019, BiogasTec operated six owned installations - Agrikracht Rumbeke (1.1 MWe), Digrom Energy (3.0 MWe), Groene Stroom Lievens (1.2 MWe), Leiestroom (6.2 MWe), Agrikracht Moorslede (1.5 MWe), and Albertstroom (13.0 MWe) - for a combined green electricity capacity of 26 MW, equivalent to power for approximately 50,000 households, with annual processing throughput of up to 500,000 tonnes of organic feedstock.
The company monetizes across five streams: sale of green electricity generated from biogas, sale of cogenerated heat and steam (including via 1,200 kW of steam boilers and 1,060 kWe of Organic Rankine Cycle capacity), gate fees for processing organic waste streams from industrial and agricultural sources, sale of digestate as a soil improver to farmers, and turnkey energy-project services covering engineering, construction, financing, licensing, and integration. Customer segments span industrial food processing (fruit and vegetables, potato, sugar, slaughterhouses, bakeries, beverages, dairy), agriculture (manure and energy crop suppliers), catering waste, and industrial energy-project buyers requiring CHP, ORC, or steam boiler installations. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise engagement, with dedicated commercial staff building long-term feedstock relationships across Flanders, the Netherlands, and Germany.
BiogasTec is a privately held Belgian naamloze vennootschap (BE 0876.673.627), part of the Trevi group, and operates as a relatively small team of 11-50 employees. It is currently expanding operations through active hiring and the Hesbaye Energie joint venture with Hesbaye Frost in Geer, while progressively extending its offering beyond core biogas into broader industrial energy engineering.

BiogasTec competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Nature Energy: Nature Energy is one of Europe's largest RNG/biogas operators (acquired by Shell); comparable to BiogasTec on AD-plus-grid-injection business model and ISCC/government-offtake economics, but operating at materially larger scale and broader geography.
- Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI): HZI is a large global EPC with established biogas and waste-to-energy divisions; comparable to BiogasTec on technology and plant design but at substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach than BiogasTec's regional focus.
Emerging players
- N2 Applied: N2 Applied is a Norwegian cleantech that processes manure and organic waste into nitrogen-rich fertilizer and gas, partially overlapping with BiogasTec's AD-of-manure feedstock base and digestate-soil-improver business line.
Direct peers
- HoSt Group: HoSt is a Dutch-headquartered EPC and technology provider for biogas and AD installations, comparable to BiogasTec in both technology stack (AD/biogas) and target customers (agriculture and industrial organic-waste generators) across the Benelux/DACH region.
- Biolectric: Biolectric is a Belgium/Flanders-based AD technology provider for farm-scale biogas plants, closely comparable in geography and customer base (Flemish agriculture), though focused on smaller-scale units than BiogasTec's industrial fleet.
- Weltec Biowerkstoff GmbH: Weltec designs, builds and operates agricultural and industrial biogas plants across Europe, comparable to BiogasTec on modular AD construction, multi-MWe plant scale, and B2B sales into food and farm segments.
- PlanET Biogas GmbH: PlanET is a German AD plant builder with comparable multipurpose plant designs, organic-waste feedstocks, and CHP integration—operating in many of the same regulatory frameworks (ISCC, EEG) that BiogasTec depends on.
- Xergi A/S: Xergi is a Danish EPC and operator of AD/biogas plants serving similar municipal, agricultural, and industrial organic-waste customers, making it a comparable European AD platform with an adjacent geographic footprint.
- EnviTec Biogas AG: EnviTec Biogas is a German-listed AD plant developer and operator serving agricultural and industrial customers with similar capacity range, ISCC-compliant feedstocks, and EPC plus operational service offering—directly overlapping with BiogasTec's core activities.
Others
- Trevi nv: Trevi nv is BiogasTec's parent environmental services group and corporate-support platform. It is included as an ecosystem participant because its relationship with BiogasTec governs licensing, shared services, and access to the Hesbaye Energie biomethanization partnership.
