We've got the bug!

Our new VW Beetle has taken to the streets of Bristol.

The Bio-Bug runs on methane gas generated during the sewage treatment process.

“Providing cost-effective recycling solutions for your organisation”

GENeco provides a recycling service for the production of renewable energy.

Through our technology we can generate power from your waste, diverting it from landfill, through a process that benefits the environment and potentially reduces your business or organisation’s operating costs.

We also produce a nutrient-rich fertiliser which has been used by the farming community for many years.

Part of the Wessex Water group of companies, GENeco has the resources, experience, skills and financial strength to offer secure, long-term commitment to businesses, organisations and the agricultural sector looking to become more environmentally friendly.

Generating around 35GWh of electricity a year, with the exception of landfill gas, we are producing more electricity than all the other forms of renewable energy combined in the region we operate, which includes Dorset and the former county of Avon.

Research suggests that nationally, the anaerobic digestion of food waste, livestock slurries, sewage sludge and energy crops to produce biogas could contribute approximately 10 to 20TWh of the UK’s heat and power by 2020, which represents up to 7.5% of the renewable energy estimated to be required by 2020.¹

Through our facilities we provide an opportunity for companies and organisations to reduce their impact on the environment improving their green credentials in a cost effective way.

GENeco Organic Waste

We offer a sustainable treatment solution for waste management companies and waste producers.

GENeco Biosolids

Our product provides a safe, sustainable and alternative source of nutrients for the agricultural industry.

GENeco Food Waste

Food waste from municipal, commercial and industrial sectors can be treated through our anaerobic digestion process.

GENeco Renewable Energy

Through anaerobic digestion we produce a methane-rich biogas that is converted into energy. Our plans to build wind turbines will provide a further source of renewable energy.

¹ Defra, DTI, DfT (2007) and Enviros (2008). These numbers are based on estimates calculated for the biomass strategy and work done by consultants Enviros on renewable heat to estimate the potential contribution of any individual technology in 2020, where the higher end of the range can only be achieved if steps are taken to overcome to the maximum deployment of the technology – taking into consideration only non-financial constraints.
