Business
Carbon and Energy Project Development
Biothermica develops, finances and implements carbon and energy projects based on the destruction and utilization of methane emissions emitted by landfill sites and underground coal mine ventilation systems. Carbon and energy revenues are generated based on Biothermica’s own proprietary technologies, such as the VAMOX® technology, applied to the destruction of coal mine ventilation air methane (VAM).
Landfill Gas Services
Biothermica provides the full array of landfill gas services to landfill site owners, including the evaluation and monitoring of landfill gas emissions as well as the design, construction and operation of landfill gas collection, destruction and utilization systems.
Air Pollution Control
Biothermica offers turn-key air pollution control solutions, based on its patented BIOTOX® technology, a regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) process applied to the destruction of non-conventional emissions such as Condensable Organic Compounds (COCs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Total Reduced Sulphurs (TRS), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), as well as dioxins and furans emitted by various industries.
History
Since its inception in 1987, Biothermica has evolved from an environmental technology company to a fully integrated carbon project developer, managing all aspects of the development, financing and implementation of its carbon and energy projects.
