From spreadsheets
to smarter decisions

From spreadsheets
to smarter decisions

We start with what you already have

We understand the practical reality of the biogas industry today. Most plants run on spreadsheets, often combining data manually from multiple sources including SCADA exports, laboratory results, feedstock logs and maintenance records. That’s not a weakness. It’s how the industry works. And we work with that reality.

BiofuelAi partners with operators to turn existing data into higher-quality, more timely decisions. We don’t expect you to rebuild your systems or become a data analytics company. That’s our role.

Simply provide your operational spreadsheets, laboratory analyses and plant configuration details. Our team handles the heavy lifting – organising, cleaning, contextualising and visualising your data to create a structured foundation for modelling and optimisation.

Pilot development roadmap

Pilot development roadmap

This indicative 8-week roadmap takes your pilot from initial setup to launch. As timelines naturally depend on scope and data availability, we prioritise clear communication and provide regular updates throughout the process.

WEEK 0

Pre-pilot

NDA signed, and timeline agreed.

Users and modules for pilot platform access confirmed.

Data sharing scope and formats agreed.

WEEK 1

Data sharing

You submit data per the scoping agreement.

We begin cleansing and mapping the data to our models.

WEEK 2

Data review

Any major data gaps are flagged to you early.

We may organise a site visit if needed (this could be a rate-limiting step).

Model training and calibration begins on all usable data.

WEEK 3

Platform build

Model training continues, incorporating any data clarifications.

Platform version 1 build in progress.

WEEK 4

Platform review

Platform version 1 is finalised internally, provided there are no delays on prior weeks.

Demo/walkthrough scheduled for week 5 with pre-agreed users.

WEEK 5

Client review

Initial feedback is gathered prior to pilot.

Platform login details are shared with pre-agreed users.

Structured walkthroughs delivered.

WEEK 6

Check-in

We review user engagement and address questions.

Any further data or model refinement happens here if needed.

WEEK 7

Pilot begins

Pilot users begin regular use of the platform.

User engagement is monitored.

Roadmap conversations continue.

Filling in the data gaps

Where data gaps exist, we can judiciously supplement them using our physics-informed models and academic databases.

This result is a coherent digital representation of your plant that helps you understand:

  • Historical performance drivers
  • Biological constraints and sensitivities
  • Untapped optimisation potential
  • Forecast production under different strategies
  • The operational controls required to realise that potential

Biogas plants rely on data — but they shouldn’t need to become data science organisations to use it effectively.
