GENeco was created by YTL-owned Wessex Water in 2008 to help its parent company become carbon neutral and eliminate landfill waste by 2020. GENeco provides sustainable waste solutions and what sets us apart is that where others might see waste, we see untapped resources.
We wanted to show the potential of biomethane, which we produce from the treatment of sewage and inedible food waste, so we created a video, which was shared by media news channels all over the world and remains popular on YouTube today.
Our film explains the story of how running a bus on biomethane could benefit the community by reducing air quality in the city of Bristol in a sustainable way, as the bus runs on waste produced from those living in the city.
Following the launch of the film, other countries have recognised the innovation and green organisations believe it’s a responsible way to decarbonise the transport sector, which is responsible for 21% of all UK carbon emissions.
We were also able to show how biomethane could be turned into gas suitable for powering homes – something which caught the attention of the Government which understands the value of the energy source we produce.
