Frequently asked questions

1. What does Moobio AS do?

Moobio AS transforms organic waste into valuable products, including biogas, biochar, and wood vinegar. We use materials like household manure, fish ensilage, and agricultural waste to produce renewable energy and eco-friendly products that help reduce waste and support sustainable agriculture.

2. How is biogas produced?

Biogas is produced through anaerobic digestion, a process where microorganisms break down organic materials like manure and fish ensilage in an oxygen-free environment. This process releases methane gas, which is collected and used as a renewable energy source for electricity, heat, or transportation.

3. What is biochar, and how is it used?

Biochar is a carbon-rich product created by heating organic materials in a low-oxygen environment (pyrolysis). It is primarily used as a soil amendment to improve soil health, water retention, and nutrient absorption. Biochar also sequesters carbon, making it a valuable tool for reducing greenhouse gases.

4. What is wood vinegar, and what are its applications?

Wood vinegar, also known as pyroligneous acid, is a by-product of the pyrolysis process used to produce biochar. It can be used as a natural fertilizer, pest control agent, and soil enhancer. It improves plant growth, boosts microbial activity, and helps reduce the need for chemical inputs in agriculture.

5. How can I become a Moobio partner or client?

We are always looking for partners who share our vision for sustainability. Whether you’re a farmer, seafarm, or business interested in using our products, you can reach out to us via our contact page for more information on pricing, logistics, and how we can collaborate. We also offer product pickup from harbors across Norway for international clients.

6. Does Moobio offer government incentives for farmers?

Yes, Moobio helps farmers take advantage of government incentive packages that support biogas production. We guide farmers through the process of accessing these financial benefits, making it easier to invest in renewable energy solutions and sustainable farming practices.

7. What makes Moobio’s products sustainable?

Our products are made by converting organic waste into valuable resources, helping reduce the need for fossil fuels and chemical inputs. Our biogas captures methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, biochar sequesters carbon in the soil, and wood vinegar promotes healthier, more sustainable farming practices. Our processes are energy-efficient and designed with minimal environmental impact in mind.

8. How does biochar help combat climate change?

Biochar acts as a long-term carbon sink by locking carbon into the soil for centuries. This process removes carbon from the atmosphere, helping to reduce greenhouse gas levels. Additionally, biochar improves soil health, which can enhance agricultural productivity in a sustainable way.

9. How do I invest in Moobio?

We are always open to partnering with investors who are interested in renewable energy and sustainable products. If you're interested in learning more about our investment opportunities, please visit our “Future Investors” page or contact us directly for more information.

10. Where are Moobio’s facilities located?

Our facilities are custom-built to support local farmers and seafarms. Currently, we are focused on expanding across Norway, with plans to establish multiple facilities that produce biogas, biochar, and wood vinegar. We also aim to grow internationally to meet global demand for our sustainable products.

11. How does Moobio support local communities?

We work closely with local farmers, seafarms, and other businesses to provide eco-friendly products and sustainable solutions. By using local waste materials to produce biogas, biochar, and wood vinegar, we create additional revenue streams for these industries while reducing waste and environmental impact.

12. What are Moobio’s long-term sustainability goals?

Our long-term goals include expanding our network of sustainable facilities across Norway and internationally, helping to build a global circular economy. We are committed to continuously improving our energy-efficient processes, minimizing our environmental footprint, and playing a key role in combating climate change.
