About Fenland Bio-Energy Systems
Turning agricultural waste into energy — and opportunity. Since 2015, we've been at the forefront of bio-energy innovation in the UK, combining technical expertise with a deep commitment to sustainability.
Our Mission: Energy That Works for Everyone
What if your farm's waste could power your home? Or your local school? That's the question we asked back in 2015 — and it's still driving us today.
Fenland Bio-Energy Systems was founded on a simple premise: bio-energy shouldn't just be sustainable — it should be practical, profitable, and accessible. Based in Cambridgeshire (with our HQ at 1010 Cambourne, Regus House), we've spent the last nine years developing solutions that do exactly that.
Our mission? To create a circular economy where waste becomes energy, energy becomes opportunity, and opportunity becomes progress. We don't just build systems — we build partnerships with farmers, rural communities, and businesses across the UK.
Quick Facts
- Founded: 2015 in Cambridgeshire
- Team: 47 specialists (engineers, agronomists, technicians)
- Projects completed: 147 across the UK

- CO₂ savings: 98,300 tonnes per year
The Technical Team Behind the Innovation
Our team isn't just skilled — they're obsessed. Obsessed with efficiency, with sustainability, with finding better ways to turn waste into energy. Here's who makes it happen:
Dr. Eleanor Whitmore
Chief Technical Officer — PhD in Biochemical Engineering from Imperial College London. Eleanor leads our R&D team, focusing on optimising anaerobic digestion processes. "The magic isn't in the technology — it's in making it work for real farms, real communities."
Mark Field
Operations Director — With 22 years in renewable energy infrastructure, Mark oversees all project implementation. "Every site is different. That's the challenge — and the fun."
Sophie Chen
Head of Sustainability — Sophie ensures our projects deliver maximum environmental benefit. "It's not just about energy — it's about soil health, water quality, community resilience. The whole system matters."
From agronomists to electrical engineers, our team brings together the expertise needed to make bio-energy work at scale. We're not just consultants — we're hands-on problem solvers who understand the realities of rural energy production.
Our Sustainability Commitment: Beyond the Numbers
We don't just talk about sustainability — we measure it, improve it, and report it. Here's how we're making a difference:
But sustainability isn't just about metrics — it's about people. That's why we:
- Work exclusively with UK-based suppliers (92% within 100 miles of our projects)
- Offer free energy audits to rural schools and community centres
- Provide training programs for local technicians (147 trained since 2018)
- Use only biodegradable lubricants and cleaning products in our operations
- Offset 100% of our office energy use through our own projects
The Fenland Difference
While others focus on large-scale industrial projects, we specialise in solutions that work for rural communities. Our average project serves 3-5 farms and powers 1,200 homes — creating local energy independence without sacrificing agricultural productivity.
"We're not trying to replace the grid — we're making it irrelevant for rural communities." — Mark Field, Operations Director
Innovation Focus: What's Next for Bio-Energy?
The bio-energy sector moves fast — and we're determined to stay ahead. Here's what we're working on:
AI-Optimised Digestion
Our new machine learning models predict biogas output with 94% accuracy — reducing waste and maximising efficiency.
Mobile Digesters
Small-scale, transportable units for seasonal waste streams. Perfect for farms with variable waste volumes.
Biochar Integration
Turning digestate into high-value soil amendments. Early trials show 37% improvement in soil carbon sequestration.
Community Microgrids
Local energy networks that combine bio-energy, solar, and storage. First pilot launching in Norfolk next spring.
"Innovation isn't about chasing the latest trend — it's about solving real problems. That's what drives us." — Dr. Eleanor Whitmore
