Both Homebiogas SME-1 and SME-2 projects focused on developing and commercializing compact biogas units for domestic and food industry use.
HOMEBIOGAS LTD
Israeli SME developing compact biogas systems that convert organic waste into cooking gas and fertilizer for domestic and food industry applications.
Their core work
HomeBiogas develops compact biogas systems that convert organic waste — food scraps, animal manure, and wastewater — into cooking gas and liquid fertilizer. The company started with domestic-scale units and expanded into food industry waste treatment, commercializing anaerobic digestion technology for decentralized energy production. They also contribute biogas and bio-waste treatment expertise to broader circular economy projects in the construction and housing sectors.
What they specialise in
All three projects involve converting organic waste streams (household, food industry, housing sector) into biogas or other value products.
HOUSEFUL project applies their bio-waste treatment and biogas production expertise to circular solutions for the EU housing sector.
HOUSEFUL project expanded their scope into wastewater treatment and water re-use within residential and construction contexts.
How they've shifted over time
HomeBiogas began with a clear product focus — developing and validating a domestic biogas system (SME-1 in 2016), then scaling it for food industry waste processing (SME-2 in 2017). By 2018, they joined the HOUSEFUL consortium, broadening into circular economy services for housing, including water reuse and co-creation approaches. The trajectory shows a company moving from single-product commercialization toward integration into larger circular economy value chains.
HomeBiogas is expanding from standalone biogas hardware into integrated circular economy service provision, making them relevant for projects combining waste, water, and energy in built environments.
How they like to work
HomeBiogas primarily leads its own projects — two of three H2020 projects were self-coordinated SME Instrument grants, reflecting a product-driven company that uses EU funding to de-risk commercialization. Their participation in HOUSEFUL (a larger Innovation Action with a broad consortium) shows willingness to contribute as a specialist partner when the project aligns with their technology. With 16 partners across 7 countries from just 3 projects, they are open to diverse European collaboration.
HomeBiogas has worked with 16 distinct partners across 7 countries, primarily through the multi-partner HOUSEFUL consortium. Their network spans several EU member states, though as an Israeli company their geographic reach extends beyond the EU core.
What sets them apart
HomeBiogas brings a rare combination: a commercially proven, compact biogas product with real-world deployment experience, not just lab-stage research. As an Israeli SME, they offer technology transfer from a market where water and waste challenges drive rapid innovation. Their progression through SME-1, SME-2, and then into a large IA consortium demonstrates both product maturity and adaptability to collaborative R&D contexts.
Highlights from their portfolio
- HOMEBIOGASSME-2 phase grant of €1.6M — their largest project, focused on scaling biogas technology from domestic to food industry waste processing.
- HOUSEFULLarge Innovation Action (2018-2023) where HomeBiogas contributed biogas and bio-waste expertise to a multi-partner circular economy project for the housing sector.
