Andion’s proven platform can manage a variety of organic waste, ensuring the efficient, sustainable and economically viable handling and conversion to RNG. Andion’s RNG facilities, located in Italy, the Nordics and North America, provide environmental and socio-economic benefits for cities facing waste challenges. Current methods for managing organic waste include sending waste to landfills; waste-to-energy recovery through incineration; composting; and, anaerobic digestion. Sending waste to landfills contributes to the production of methane while Andion’s proprietary anerobic digestion technology is carbon-negative. Anaerobic digestion reduces greenhouse gas emissions, reduces odours and requires a small footprint, supporting the circular economy as the organic waste is converted into RNG.
Andion’s facilities have the ability to process hundreds of thousands of tons of a variety of organic waste, providing a sustainable solution for waste produced by households, restaurants, agriculture, energy crops and industrial processing plants. Andion’s process reduces greenhouse gas emissions produced from transportation, landfills and the burning of waste, and creates RNG, a sustainable source of fuel for communities around the world.
