HomeBiogas, an Israeli company founded in 2012, operates in the energy tech sector, specializing in on-site anaerobic digestion systems that convert organic waste into renewable energy and bio-fertilizer. The company was established by co-founders Oshik Efrati (CEO), Yair Teller (CSO), and Erez Lanzer (CFO), who shared a goal of making renewable energy accessible to all. Their journey began in 2007 when Teller encountered basic biogas systems in Mexico and India, identifying their inefficiencies. This led the founders to develop a more modern, durable, and user-friendly biodigester. Efrati has a background in marine sciences and product development, while Teller has conducted research in waste management and anaerobic digestion.
The company's business model involves the direct sale of its biodigester systems to a diverse client base, including individual households, farmers, businesses, and institutional clients like NGOs and governments. Revenue is generated from the sale of these units, with the company also establishing a global distribution network to penetrate local markets. HomeBiogas has worked with organizations like the UN and USAID and governments in countries such as the Dominican Republic and Kenya on large-scale deployment projects. After a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2016 and several funding rounds, HomeBiogas went public on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) in February 2021, raising approximately $94 million to fund expansion.
HomeBiogas offers a portfolio of products designed for different scales of operation. The core technology is an anaerobic digester that accepts organic inputs like food scraps, meat, dairy, and animal manure, breaking them down without electricity to produce methane gas and liquid fertilizer. Products include household units (HBG 2, HBG 4, HBG 7), a Bio-Toilet that connects to the digester for off-grid sanitation, and a commercial system designed for industrial kitchens and businesses that can process up to one ton of waste daily. Each household system can mitigate up to six tons of CO2 annually by diverting organic waste from landfills. The systems are designed for easy assembly and are sold globally, operating in over 100 countries.
