FAQs

SEaB Energy enables food waste producers to turn organic waste into on-site renewable energy, reducing disposal costs, cutting carbon emissions, and improving operational resilience.

Our containerised anaerobic digestion systems are purpose-built for on-site food waste treatment, eliminating the need for long-haul transport and exposure to volatile disposal markets. By converting food waste into energy where it is generated, SEaB helps organisations lower costs, strengthen ESG performance, and future-proof operations against tightening waste and carbon regulations.

SEaB Energy is trusted globally for solutions that are: Modular, scalable, and rapidly deployable; Designed for distributed, on-site waste treatment; Compliant across the US, EU, UK, Australia, and LATAM; Aligned with net-zero, ESG, and decarbonisation strategies.

SEaB Energy designs and delivers containerised anaerobic digestion systems that allow food waste producers to treat organic waste on site, converting food waste into renewable energy and usable by-products. Our solutions reduce waste disposal costs, lower emissions, and support circular economy and sustainability goals.

SEaB Energy works with commercial and industrial food waste producers, including food manufacturers, processors, hospitality groups, retailers, campuses, healthcare facilities, and waste operators. Our systems are ideal for organisations seeking on-site food waste treatment, cost certainty, and measurable carbon reduction.

SEaB systems process a wide range of source-separated organic food waste, including: Pre- and post-consumer food waste; Food manufacturing by-products; Spoiled or expired food; Fats, oils, and greases (within specification). Waste acceptance and performance are validated through centralised laboratory testing.

SEaB’s modular systems can process: 200 kg to 20 metric tonnes per day; 440 lbs to 44,000 lbs per day; 0.22 to 22 US short tons per day. Capacity can be scaled incrementally, allowing customers to start small and expand as volumes grow.

On-site food waste treatment allows customers to: Eliminate or significantly reduce haulage and gate fees; Avoid volatile landfill and digestion pricing; Reduce operational disruption; Lower Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For US customers in particular, this provides cost certainty and operational resilience in markets experiencing rising disposal costs and landfill constraints.

SEaB systems convert food waste into: Biogas; Renewable electricity; Recoverable heat, where applicable. Energy is typically used on site, maximising economic and environmental value.

Yes. SEaB systems are designed to meet applicable standards in: United States (UL-compliant components and local codes); UK & European Union (CE compliance); Australia (local electrical and safety standards); LATAM, adapted to country-specific regulations. Compliance is built into system design from the outset.

SEaB Energy systems are manufactured through a distributed production model, ensuring compliance, localisation, and supply chain resilience. Systems are built in: United Kingdom; European Union; United States; Australia, under a licensed manufacturing agreement. Centralised design control and quality standards ensure consistency across all regions. (US sales signal: domestic manufacturing + supply chain resilience)

SEaB provides long-term support through: Commissioning and operator training; Preventive maintenance programmes; Remote monitoring and diagnostics; Local service partners backed by SEaB’s central engineering team. This hybrid model ensures fast response times and long-term reliability.

Yes. SEaB supports customers in measuring and managing carbon reductions achieved through on-site food waste treatment. Depending on location and project structure, SEaB can: Quantify emissions reductions from avoided transport and landfill; Support ESG and sustainability reporting; Advise on pathways toward carbon offsets or carbon credit certification, where applicable. Carbon strategies are developed on a project-specific basis.

ROI varies by site, but value is typically driven by: Reduced waste disposal and transport costs; On-site renewable energy generation; Improved ESG and compliance positioning; Reduced exposure to regulatory and market risk. SEaB provides site-specific financial models during project evaluation.

SEaB Energy supports customers across: United States; United Kingdom; European Union; Australia; Latin America (LATAM).

Projects begin with a waste and site assessment, supported by centralised laboratory testing to validate waste composition and energy potential. The process includes: Waste volume and composition review; Laboratory analysis; Site and utility assessment; Regulatory and permitting review. SEaB then delivers a tailored technical and commercial proposal. Contact SEaB Energy to begin your assessment.
