Biogas: Turning Local Resources into Energy
One of the core areas Live Energies focuses on is biogas. They offer consulting services to optimize the use of all local resource potentials, especially manure from livestock farming. Whether it’s planning and constructing small biogas plants or supporting the operation and optimization of existing ones, their expertise covers the full spectrum. It’s all about making biogas a reliable, sustainable energy source that fits local needs perfectly.
Carbonization: Making the Most of Biowaste
Carbonization is another fascinating field where Live Energies shines. They provide consulting on designing plant technology that can handle heterogeneous biowaste streams effectively. Plus, they help optimize existing carbonization plants and adapt them to challenging feedstocks. Their regulatory consulting covers everything from construction to registration and certification, including compliance with REACH. They also analyze biomass to assess its suitability as feedstock and study the chemical-physical properties of biochar products — quite a comprehensive approach!
Jatropha: From Cultivation to Product Development
Live Energies also offers technical consulting along the entire Jatropha value chain, collaborating closely with Jatropower AG. This includes support from cultivation to product development for both conventional and edible Jatropha (Xuta). They assist in selecting and developing technologies for processing Jatropha seeds under various conditions and organize analyses and quality controls of Jatropha products. It’s a full-service approach that ensures quality and innovation at every step.

Addressing PFAS Contamination: Tackling the Forever Chemicals
PFAS contamination is a tricky issue, often called the “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down easily. Live Energies steps in with thorough analysis of existing PFAS contamination and helps select the best decontamination strategy. But they don’t stop there — they support the implementation of these strategies and provide consulting on communication with authorities and collaboration with research institutions. It’s a hands-on, science-driven approach to a complex environmental challenge.
