Step 1
Project Development

BIOGEST supports its customers from the start with a detailed project checklist, forming the basis for a customized technological concept. Key factors like capacity, feedstock, location, and heat use are considered, while ensuring compliance with local regulations. The plant is built from standard modules, then adapted to meet specific customer needs. With BIOP, our second brand, we take it a step further: beyond developing and constructing biomethane projects, we also secure their long-term success through Own Plant Operation (OPO).

Step 2
Design Engineering

BIOGEST begins each project with comprehensive engineering design. Our specialists develop precise, standard-compliant technical documentation tailored to the specific project requirements. This thorough planning forms the foundation for the efficient, sustainable, and reliable construction of biogas and biomethane plants.

Step 3
Co-Investment

Our technology creates sustainable long-term benefits, which we also apply through our sister company BIOP in the direct operation of plants (OPO). We don’t just build facilities – we also operate them. As active shareholders, we work closely with local partners to ensure efficient and successful project development.

Step 4
Turnkey Construction

BIOGEST supplies all of the technical equipment and measurement/control technology. Furthermore, we employ our own Project and Site Managers to oversee the construction phase. The project is concluded after commissioning test operations and a successful performance test.
