Axpo is a Swiss leader in the management of sustainable biowaste, operating several fermentation plants, composting sites, mobile services and a wood-fired power plant for the recycling of organic waste. By using fermentation, our sustainable approach to resource management produces energy in the form of biogas, electricity, heat, and liquid or solid fertiliser from renewable biomass, including wood and residual materials like garden clippings, kitchen waste, food scraps, harvest residues and wood.

Like fossil fuels, the combustion of biomass energy also generates greenhouse gas emissions but no more than the plants have previously extracted from the atmosphere during their growth.

Our Axpo Tegra subsidiary operates Switzerland's largest wood-fired power plant in Domat/Ems, producing renewable energy from various wood products prepared at the facility. The generation of sustainable, climate friendly energy feeds an independent electricity supply and brings significant economic value to the region.

By producing energy from wood, Axpo Tegra is able to take into account the natural life cycle of this climate-neutral energy source, respect ecological standards and produce cost-effectively. Axpo is proud of its innovative strength, invests carefully and with foresight in its power plant fleet and strives for a sustainable energy future.

Axpo's recycling efforts help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make an important contribution to closing so-called material cycles of matter moving through ecosystems. As a reliable partner for local authorities, trades and industries, we are committed to providing sustainable solutions for the management of biowaste.
