She presented how ALTEO has transformed biogas operations into a fully traceable, audited, and economically sustainable circular energy model.<\/p>\n<p>Food industry rejects, expired products, agricultural by-products, and organic waste streams can all be safely processed within a controlled system, transforming waste into renewable electricity, heat, biomethane, and agricultural nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>Companies \u2013 especially retail chains and manufacturers \u2013 are increasingly making decisions based on ESG considerations, and biogas gives them the opportunity to combine their waste management with the use of green energy. Good examples show that up to 800\u20131000 tons of packaging material per year can be used for energy recovery instead of landfilling.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78155 size-portfolio lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Budapest_Biogas_Summit_2026_017-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Budapest_Biogas_Summit_2026_017-495x400.jpg 495w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Budapest_Biogas_Summit_2026_017-845x684.jpg 845w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 495px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 495\/400;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201eWhat makes biogas particularly important is that it is not simply an energy technology, but a complete circular economic system connecting waste management, renewable energy production, agricultural nutrient recovery, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":72052,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-member-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
