ProGasLin – Enzyme for Biogas Plants to Increase Methane Yield and Profitability 

Unlock Hidden Profit Inside Your Fermenter.

Break-even already from ~3% efficiency gain.

ProGasLin is a high-performance enzyme for agricultural biogas plants developed in Germany to increase methane yield, improve substrate efficiency and stabilise fermentation processes. 

For 250–500 kW installations, substrate costs represent the dominant operational expense. ProGasLin activates additional energy potential from existing raw materials — often achieving measurable efficiency gains with a break-even already at around 3%. 

More methane. Lower substrate dependency. Higher annual profit. 

Learn How ProGasLin Works

Lower Substrate Dependency

Up to ~10% raw material reduction potential depending on substrate mix and plant configuration.

Higher Methane Yield 

Improved hydrolysis increases methane production from the same input volume.

 Fast Economic Break-Even

Break-even already achievable at around 3% efficiency gain.

€50,000

Annual Saving Potential

~10% raw material reduction (500 kW reference example). 

Substrate costs are the largest operational expense in agricultural biogas plants. Even small efficiency improvements can generate significant annual savings. 

100%

Engineered & Produced in Germany

Developed by experienced German biogas process specialists. 

Precision enzyme formulation optimised for fibre-rich substrates and agricultural biogas systems. Reliable. Consistent. Market-differentiated. 

Increase Your Biogas Plant Profitability – From the First Percentage Point

Break-even already from ~3% efficiency gain. Everything above that increases your annual profit.

For 250–500 kW agricultural biogas plants, substrate costs are the dominant cost block. 

ProGasLin optimises hydrolysis, increases methane yield and improves substrate efficiency — turning biological potential into measurable annual profit. 

ProGasLin is a specialised enzyme solution developed for agricultural biogas plants operating with fibre-rich substrates such as maize silage, manure and agricultural residues. By enhancing hydrolysis efficiency, it increases specific methane yield per ton of substrate and improves overall digester performance without mechanical modification.  

For 250–500 kW biogas plants in Germany and across Europe, even small improvements in substrate efficiency directly impact EBITDA. Increasing methane yield by just a few percentage points reduces raw material input per kWh produced and unlocks measurable annual profit potential through optimised biological conversion.
