In December 2007 Helbio S.A., a Morphic Technologies subsidiary, received an order for an energy system for converting biogas from sewage into electricity and heat. Following a four-month trial period, all tests show that the system has lived up to its promise and Morphic has therefore decided to launch this combination of energy systems in a range of output categories on a wider front in Europe.
In the system, heat or electricity is extracted from biogas, which in turn is extracted directly ... [more]
