A leader in the recovery of organic waste

Axpo Biomasse AG recovers around 340,000 tonnes of biomass per year at its 15 anaerobic digestion plants and 8 composting sites across Switzerland. The organic waste is converted into biogas, electricity, heat, natural fertiliser and compost. Each year, Axpo Biomasse AG produces a total of around 80 GWh of energy, which corresponds to the energy consumption of around 18,000 households.

Through its composting sites, Axpo focuses on returning high-quality nutrients to the natural cycle. Over a period of several months, non-digestible biomass is transformed into various high-quality compost products, suitable for use in gardens or in agriculture.
