Biogas research

The Biogas Division of ISF Schaumann Research has gained a number of ground-breaking insights regarding biogas production processes and their improvement within only a few years.

The biogas plant on Hülsenberg Estate comprises two lines, allowing practical trials of biogas products to be conducted on a commercial scale in direct comparison. The insights gained are then used to support the production of numerous biogas products that can be customised for any biogas operation.
