Renewable Energy
Alternative Methodology
Description The Biomeiler is a technology to produce heat from biomass. Biomeiler are extracting heat from a special compost heap and are therefore also known as "Compost Heating"". Their function are based on the principal of composting. During this process aerobic bacteria are converting organic matter (in this case wood chips) into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium. Parallel processes generate small amounts of methan gas, which has been collected in some prototypes. The ammonium is turned by bacteria into nitrites and nitrates useful for improving/fertilizing soil in agriculture and horticulture.

The produced thermal energy and the Carbondioxide may be used to support plant growth in greenhouses.
