The Future of Biomass
envorloop – We convert wet biomass into valuable resources
Our mission
Envorloop develops technologies that unlock the most valuable resource of the future: wet biomass. Large quantities of sewage sludge, manure, and industrial residues are currently disposed of or incinerated at high cost - even though they contain valuable energy and raw materials.
With our innovative process, wet biomass is converted directly at the point of origin into CO₂-neutral energy, high-quality biochar, and recoverable nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen-all without energy intensive drying.
This enables producers of biogenic residual streams to turn a cost factor into a source of value while simultaneously closing a critical gap in the circular economy.

Rising Costs in Biomass Disposal
+130% cost increase over the past 10 years
The disposal of wet biomass is increasingly becoming an economic risk factor.
Over the past ten years, costs have risen by more than 130% – with a continuing upward trend.
Key cost drivers:
-
Rising energy prices
-
Increasing CO₂ costs
-
Complex logistical requirements
-
Limited capacities in thermal treatment
Regulatory Changes Require a Strategic Rethink
New regulations from 2025 and 2029
The legal framework is fundamentally transforming biomass disposal and requires early strategic adaptation.
Key developments:
-
Mandatory phosphorus recovery from 2029/32
-
Biowaste Ordinance 2025: stricter quality requirements
-
Circular Economy Act: focus on high-quality recycling, end of landfilling
-
New technical standards (TA Luft, BImSchG, 17th BImSchV) increase complexity and costs
-
CO₂ pricing (BEHG): thermal disposal becomes more expensive each year
Our process
Turning residual materials into valuable products
Rather than simply disposing of or incinerating hard-to-use biomass, our process transforms it into three valuable resources. By going well beyond basic phosphorus recovery, we unlock the full potential of every biomass stream.
-
Biochar – a CO₂-neutral energy source
-
Biofertilizer – returning phosphorus and nitrogen to agriculture
Why our process is unique
-
Holistic value creation – We recover all relevant resources from biomass, not just phosphorus.
-
Energy-efficient and modular – Wet biomass can be processed directly, without energy-intensive drying.
-
Future-proof and cost-effective – Our process reduces disposal costs and helps meet upcoming regulatory requirements.
