BioStar converts biogas into Renewable Electricity, creating baseload renewable power.

HOW WE DO IT
Combined Heat & Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, produces electricity while capturing usable thermal energy for heating, industrial processes, or domestic hot water.
BioStar develops CHP systems fueled by natural gas or biogas. In waste-to-energy applications, organic waste streams are processed through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, which is then converted into electricity and thermal energy. Continuous feedstock availability allows these systems to operate as reliable base-load generation assets.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
As electricity demand continues to grow, reliable base-load generation remains essential. While solar and wind provide cost-effective generation, they are intermittent resources that cannot provide baseload power without a long duration storage asset attached.
CHP systems complement distributed renewables by delivering continuous, on-site power—24 hours a day, 365 days a year—supporting grid independence and operational continuity.

FEATURED PROJECT
BIOSTAR'S REGIONAL FOOD WASTE DIGESTER
San Bernardino, CA
BioStar’s WTE plant in California diverts 85,000 gallons of pre-consumer food waste from the Coachella Valley and Lambs Canyon landfills every day! By utilizing local food waste as our feedstock, we are helping the region meet critical landfill diversion and sustainability goals, all while creating renewable energy, SuperSix™ Organic Fertilizer, compostable fiber and clean water!
