Carbogenics

About

Founded in 2016, Carbogenics is a private headquartered in Edinburgh, United Kingdom with approximately 10-50 employees specializing in Biogas, Biomass, Energy Storage.

Carbogenics is a University of Edinburgh spinout founded in 2016 that engineers biochar products from difficult-to-recycle organic waste and wastewater screenings. The company's flagship product, CreChar, is a patent-pending biochar specifically designed to enhance anaerobic digestion (AD) systems. CreChar improves digester stability, reduces ammonia and hydrogen sulfide levels, increases biogas and methane yields (up to 10% biomethane enhancement and 3% methane content increase), and supports retention of beneficial microorganisms. The product is compatible with all common AD systems including continuous stirred-tank reactors, plug-flow digesters, and covered lagoons. FilaChar, their second product, targets wastewater treatment applications. Carbogenics operates across Europe and the United States, with industrial deployment at multiple customer sites processing various feedstocks including agricultural residues, food waste, distillery waste, and manure. The company has demonstrated cost reductions through reduced trace element dosing (savings of £20k+ annually) and improved operational efficiency.
