BIO2CHP is developing decentralised waste-to-energy technologies that convert raw residual biomass from agri-food and industrial activities into useful energy products. The company’s technology will enable small-scale, on-site production of combined heat and power (CHP) from organic residues that are often treated as waste, transforming them into valuable resources while reducing waste disposal costs and fossil energy dependence.

BIO2CHP’s solution combines biomass gasification, advanced hot-gas filtration and a high-efficiency gas engine-based CHP system within a compact, automated unit. This allows businesses (particularly small and medium-sized agri-food companies) to use their own residues, such as agricultural by-products and food-processing waste, to generate renewable electricity and heat directly at the point of production. 

By promoting local resource recovery, BIO2CHP helps close material and energy loops: agricultural residues become renewable energy inputs instead of disposal burdens, while industries can reduce energy costs, improve resource efficiency and lower their environmental footprint. 

Founded in 2017 as a university spin-off from research at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the company is working to make decentralised biomass energy generation accessible for industries that traditionally lack economically viable waste recovery options.
