As the world is moving towards being more aware of the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, FESB decided to expand into the renewable energy sector.

Today, we specialize in biogas production using the anaerobic digestion technology to convert mixtures of organic waste into clean and green energy. Our biogas plants are capable of producing biogas, biomethane and organic fertilizer and at the same time help solve environmental issues.

We are proud to be contributing to the shift towards a more sustainable energy system and are committed to continuously improve our waste-to-energy concept to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the biogas industry.
