Prevent methane emissions through methanogenesis deactivation

A targeted solution designed to stop methane formation at its source in post-digested sludge.

prevent

A scalable, prevention-based solution that stops methane production after digestion, cutting downstream emissions, improving safety and supporting regulatory compliance.

Bluemethaneprevent is a methane prevention solution developed in partnership with UK water companies, delivering a practical and scalable alternative to conventional methane abatement approaches.

It addresses a critical and often overlooked challenge: even after degassing, methane-producing archaea can remain active in post-digested sludge, continuing to generate methane during storage, handling, and dewatering. This ongoing methane formation creates emissions, safety risks and increasing compliance pressure for operators under the Industrial Emissions Directive.

Bluemethaneprevent changes the approach. Rather than managing methane after it forms, it prevents further methane production altogether.

Why Bluemethaneprevent?

Prevents further methane formation — Stops methane generation after digestion, not just its release.

Reduces Downstream emissions — Minimises emissions during storage, handling and dewatering.

Enhances operational safety — Controls residual biogas, improving health, safety and process stability.

Supports regulatory compliance — Helps operators meet low VOC requirements and Industrial Emissions Directive obligations.

Prevent.

Bluemethaneprevent deactivates methane-producing archaea in post-digested sludge, inhibiting the formation of new methane before it can be released.

Developed in partnership with UK water companies and supported by leading industry experts, the technology has demonstrated up to 99.9% inhibition of further methane production using a targeted additive combination.

This prevention-based approach avoids the need for highly energy approaches, delivering effective emissions reduction from post-digested sludge.

Who needs prevent?

  • Water companies
  • Biogas plant operators
  • Sites with regulatory requirements to reduce methane and VOC emissions
  • Any operation treating liquid waste anaerobically

By preventing methane formation, Bluemethaneprevent enhances safety, improves process stability, protects valuable biogas recovery and helps operators reduce emissions, avoid fines and progress toward net zero practically and sustainably.
