Renewable natural gas (RNG) is a renewable fuel made from organic waste and biomass instead of fossil reserves. In most cases, RNG is essentially the same as biomethane: biogas that has been cleaned and upgraded until it can be used in much the same way as conventional natural gas. Instead of coming from fossil reserves underground, renewable natural gas is …
Meva Energy’s biochar is now EBC certified!
Meva Energy’s biochar, produced at our Kisa plant, is now certified under the European Biochar Certificate (EBC) – Europe’s leading standard for sustainable and transparent biochar production. With this certification, the production is confirmed to meet strict European standards for quality, transparency, and environmental performance. As Emma Arvidsson, Product Manager Biochar & Carbon Removal at Meva Energy, puts it: “Achieving …
Meva is teaming up with Swiss Steel to explore decarbonization solutions for high-temperature heat processing
Industrial activities requiring heat above 1,000°C remains one of the most difficult parts of heavy industry to decarbonize. Against this backdrop, Meva Energy and Swiss Steel have launched a joint feasibility study to assess how renewable biosyngas can complement their use of natural gas in a walking beam furnace at Swiss Steel’s plant in Emmenbrücke, Switzerland. Our ambition is to …
Meva Energy joins the Swedish-German Cleantech Platform
Meva Energy has joined the Swedish-German Cleantech Platform, a one-year program supporting selected Swedish cleantech companies in their expansion to Germany. We are one of nine companies chosen for this year’s cohort. Over the coming months, the platform brings us together as a Swedish cleantech cluster and provides a clear path forward – from a shared kickoff and a defined …
What is a biogas power plant?
A biogas power plant taps into a simple natural process: organic material breaks down, releases gas, and that gas becomes usable energy. Instead of letting waste or leftover biomass sit unused, a biogas plant captures this energy and turns it into heat and electricity. The raw material can be almost anything organic – food waste, crop residues, manure, or other …
EIB backs Swedish cleantech pioneer Meva Energy with €40 million for biogas innovation
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing €40 million in venture debt financing to Meva Energy AB (“Meva”), a Swedish cleantech company pioneering modular gasification plants that convert biomass residues into climate-neutral, industrial-grade biogas. This innovative fuel can directly replace fossil gas in a range of industries, supporting Europe’s transition to cleaner energy and greater energy independence. The EIB’s investment …
Oat husks are being tested as feedstock for biosyngas and biochar production
Sweden’s has a strong agricultural sector that produces large volumes of by-products every year, including oat husks, straw, and crop residues. Much of this material remains unused, despite its considerable potential as a resource with high energy content. Meva Energy has developed a technology that replace fossil gas in industrial applications by producing biosyngas through gasification of biomass residues. Until …
“We want our visitors to leave inspired by Meva, and motivated to make a positive impact themselves.”
At Meva Energy’s biogas plant in Kisa, Operations Technician Joakim “Jocke” Gustavsson is leading tours that not only educate visitors about the company’s gasification technology but also inspires them to make a positive impact on the environment themselves. Meva’s gasification process is an innovative technology, where biomass residues are transformed into renewable biogas that replaces fossil gas at Sofidel’s paper …
Meva Energy Signs agreement with Elcowire to enable world’s first fossil-free copper production
Meva Energy has entered into a groundbreaking 15-year agreement with Elcowire, a leading European copper wire manufacturer, to supply 9 MW of renewable biogas to Elcowire’s Helsingborg facility in Sweden. Valued at 500 million SEK, this deal represents Meva Energy’s largest contract to date and marks a historic milestone for the industry. Through this collaboration, Elcowire becomes the world’s first …
Cows could achieve better digestion health and lower methane emissions with biochar
In collaboration with Envinn, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Skånefrö and Hushållningssällskapet Sjuhärad, Meva Energy is part of a feasibility study focused on using biochar as a feed additive for cattle. This project aims to understand biochar’s unique properties to increase animal health and reduce methane emissions. With agriculture responsible for around 14% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions and …
