The primary source material of interest is biowaste (liquid and solid) making the association also a waste management organization in addition to a renewable energy organization. The scope of activities include agricultural energy crops, too. Anaerobic digestion is the core technology, but technologies for production of synthetic biogas (such as thermal gasification of waste wood) are also included in the field of activities.
