Cape Town Biogas is an organic waste processing facility. We utilise the leading anaerobic digestion technology to process 250 tonnes per day of organic waste into resources.
Waste we receive
Packaged Food Waste
The dedicated onsite de-packaging facility offers the safe destruction and disposal of packaged waste. E.g. Off-spec production, expired goods, legal seizures and abandoned cargo.
Industrial Sludge
Organic sludges can be accepted in large volumes. E.g. On-site water treatment sludge, facility cleaning effluent and food & beverage by-products.
SSO
SSO (Source Separated Organics) is organic food waste that has been pre-sorted at the point of origin with <5% contamination. E.g. Shopping mall, hospital and education campus generated food waste.
Food Waste
Food waste with no contamination can be accepted. E.g. Agricultural waste, manufactures using organic ingredients and food & beverage industry products and by-products.
Bulk Organic Liquids
We can receive large volumes of tanker liquid. Our liquid reception can rapidly drain tankers to provide safe and efficient turn-around times. E.g. Cooldrink and milk waste.
Fats, oils and Greases
Fats, oils and greases (F.O.G) is waste sourced from restaurants and food production plants. Normally in the form of effluent water. E.g. Grease traps cleaning residue and water treatment sludge.
Cape Town Biogas uses anaerobic digestion to process waste. This is a biological process with scientific formulations. We receive a wide variety of organic waste that is assessed for suitability in our laboratory.
Cape Town Biogas produces three products. Bio-Methane, Beverage grade CO₂ and Organic fertilizer
Bio-methane
Bio-methane, a product of biogas purification, acts as a sustainable fuel, lowering carbon footprints. It energises generators, boilers, and vehicles, fostering eco-friendly transport and energy distribution.
Green CO₂
Green CO₂, derived from biogas purification, serves various purposes, including carbonating beverages and enhancing greenhouse crop growth. Our CarboScan real-time quality monitoring system ensures the highest beverage-grade quality.
Organic fertiliser
After the anaerobic digestion process, the nutrient-rich digestate is separated, processed, and composted to create a high-quality organic fertiliser. This sustainable practice promotes soil health, reduces waste, and supports eco-friendly agriculture.
