Heat from compost.
Compost from waste.

One movable container delivers the heat to warm your building and at the same time turns your organic residual streams into high-grade compost. No gas, no grid congestion, fully circular.

  • Continuous, reliable heat supply
  • Produces very high-grade compost
  • Automatically controlled, half a day of work per cycle
  • On your own site, no permanent construction

The system

A complete installation that runs itself

Composting chamber, heat exchange, aeration and control are integrated into one 40ft high-cube container. Ready to use, with no permanent construction on your site.

In
Organic residual streams: crop residues, green waste, manure
Out
Continuous heat plus unique compost
Needed
30 m² of space and a single socket
Not needed
Gas or a heavy grid connection

What it costs you in work

Daily

Nothing to do

The control system monitors temperature and process automatically and adjusts where needed. No daily round, no manual operation.

2 to 6 times a year

Half a day

Compost out, new residual streams in. With a loader one person does that in half a day per system.

Who it is for

Where this system works best

Garden centres & greenhouses

Your crop and pruning waste no longer has to be taken away. The system turns it into heat for the greenhouse or building in the cold months, and into high-grade compost that you use on your own land or sell on in the garden centre. A closed loop on your own site.

  • Heat for greenhouse or building when you need it
  • High-grade compost to use yourself or sell on
  • Processing of your own crop and pruning waste on your own site
  • Less dependent on gas and grid congestion

Dairy & livestock farms

Livestock farms have residual streams and a heat demand. The system heats your buildings and delivers compost that improves soil structure. Unlike raw manure, livestock can return to the land sooner. You do not have to wait three weeks before the grass is grazed again.

  • Heat for barn, house or farm building
  • Process your own manure and organic material
  • Soil-improving compost for your own land
  • Livestock back on the land sooner than with raw manure

Property & estates

For estates, listed buildings and offices that cannot electrify because of grid congestion and cannot come off gas. The system delivers heat entirely independent of the electricity grid, with green waste and verge cuttings as fuel, and compost for your own grounds.

  • Heat without a gas connection
  • Independent of grid congestion and grid upgrades
  • Uses your own green and verge waste
  • A visibly sustainable story for your site

Benefits

Why Thermal Compost Systems?

Independent of the grid

Deliver heat where electrification is not possible. No waiting for a grid upgrade, no dependence on gas prices.

Fully circular

Residual streams you currently take away become the source of heat and a valuable soil product. Nothing is lost.

Movable & modular

No permanent construction or long permit process for an installation. The container stands where you need it and scales with you.

High-grade end quality

Controlled composting yields stable, nutrient-rich premium compost that is rich in micro-organisms. The long process makes it higher in quality than other kinds of compost.

Local and visibly sustainable

A tangible story for your organisation. Waste, heat and soil in one closed loop on your own site.

Support from start to finish

From feasibility and siting through to commissioning and use, we think along with you about your particular situation.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Is your question not here? Get in touch, we are glad to think along about your situation.

How much space do I need?

You need 30 m² for one system. Systems can be placed side by side and linked, depending on your heat demand. We look at the best spot on your site together.

Which residual streams can I use?

Crop residues, green waste, verge cuttings and manure, among others. During the advisory call we look at which streams you have available and what the best mix is.

How much work is it for me?

Little. The system runs itself. The control monitors temperature and process automatically, so you do not have to check daily and nobody has to be freed up for it. Two to six times a year you take the compost out and new residual streams go in. With a loader that is half a day of work for one person, per system.

How long does the composting process take?

The process is steered precisely from a distance. That lets you set the system to a cycle of one month to six months, depending on the size of your residual streams and your demand for heat and compost.

Do I need a gas or heavy electrical connection?

No. The system delivers heat without a gas connection and without a heavy electrical connection. Four systems together run off one ordinary socket. That keeps the installation simple and means it also works at sites where grid congestion rules other systems out.

What does a system cost?

A system is a tailored investment, depending on your heat demand and residual streams. After a short advisory call we put together a fitting proposal. You can already make a trial calculation on our website under “Calculate”.
