North America experiences remarkable growth within the biogas sector, which leads to a greater export potential for Danish biogas companies. The Trade Council has established the Biogas Alliance, which supports Danish biogas companies in entering the North American market and hereby benefit from this rapid growth.
The Biogas Alliance brings together complimentary Danish biogas companies that provide solutions related to organics management through anaerobic digestion. The companies produce renewable natural gas and fertilizer for use in crop production through large-scale, centralized co-digestion of animal manure, food waste and other organic feedstocks. The Alliance members have a strong history of working together to provide the most effective and efficient solutions based on integration and synergy.
The biogas alliance creates a compelling and competitive value proposition for the North American biogas sector, as the Danish alliance members are able to provide complete biogas plant solutions by working together.Cecilie Engell Sørensen

Ammongas provides tailored design solutions within biogas upgrading, air/gas purification and odour removal and ammonia separation and concentration. The upgrading plants deliver a high concentration of methane that can be injected directly into the natural gas grid or be used for transport.
Biogasclean is specialized in biological desulfurization of biogas without the use of chemicals. They develop, manufacture and market fully automated gas cleaning systems for H2S removal with low operating costs and high availability.
Gemidan Ecogi is an entrepreneur and engineering company specialized in environmental technique and recycling. They market a unique pre-treatment technology to process multiple organic waste streams and produce a high quality pulp-based substrate.
LSM has manufactured peristaltic pumps for digester, wastewater and food production applications since the 1990s, and are able to handle thick slurry with up to 80% solids and large particles. The pumps’ special design allows longer lifespan of the gear and hose, as more volume is moved per revolution at lower speed. LSM has a strong presence in the US market.
Nature Energy is the world's first fully-integrated renewable natural gas (RNG) company, deploying large-scale digester systems to produce energy and fertilizer for crop production. The company designs, builds, finances, owns and operates biogas plants and offers superior solutions for managing organic feedstocks like manure, food waste and agricultural residuals.
Novozymes offers a portfolio of enzymes that deliver a range of benefits for biogas and wastewater plants. They degrade organic material (e.g., food waste) more efficiently, which results in higher biogas yields while reducing operational costs. The enzymes also have shown to help prevent excessive foaming and the formation of surface ‘crusts’ in the digester.
Renew Energy is an engineering consulting company specialized in biogas, bio-refinery, and nutrient recovery solutions. Renew Energy has provided engineering services to several biogas plants in the U.S.
The Månsson Biogas Plant, co-owned by Nature Energy and Axel Månsson, was established in Brande, Denmark in 2017 to treat 150,000 tons of organic wastes (manure, food waste, agricultural residuals) a year. The plant is Denmark’s first and largest fully organic biogas plant – producing fertilizer for organic farming and renewable natural gas for injection into the natural gas grid.
The plant currently produces 17 million cubic meters of RNG each year, which corresponds to the energy supply of approx. 12,000 houses.
Thus, the synergies provided by the Biogas Alliance companies provide an effective and integrated ‘full circle’ solution for managing organic waste and producing renewable energy.
