Alchemyca Launches First Real-Time Biogas Prediction and Optimization Platform for Anaerobic Digesters
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alchemyca, a waste-to-value technology company transforming anaerobic digesters into high‑performance biorefineries, today announced the launch of its flagship digital platform, Claritix™, the industry’s first solution that predicts biogas output from organic waste feedstocks in real time and gives operators precise, actionable control over digester performance.
We built Alchemyca to give anaerobic digester operators the intelligence and control they need to maximize performance starting today - Patrick Vagner, CEO

With global RNG capacity projected to double by 2034 and electricity needs skyrocketing, including those of the growing data center market, biogas offers a rare dual-benefit solution: cutting methane emissions while generating the renewable baseload power our expanding energy infrastructure requires. Yet despite this massive opportunity, most anaerobic digesters fall short of their potential.
Anaerobic digestion underperforms mainly due to limited visibility and predictive tools for operators. Many plants still lack real time sensors and advanced analytics, resulting in conservative operations that leave a significant portion of potential output unrealized.
Alchemyca closes this visibility and control gap. By integrating real-time sensors that provide instantaneous feedstock composition and energy content, with AI/ML models trained on current and historical operating data, the Claritix platform forecasts gas output and detects instability before it occurs, guiding operators to achieve stable, optimal performance. With stability restored, Alchemyca delivers significant additional upside through tailored biocatalyst programs that can generate double-digit improvements in biogas generation.
“Biogas is one of the most powerful tools we have for clean, sustainable energy,” said Patrick Vagner, CEO of Alchemyca. “We built Alchemyca to give operators the intelligence and control they need to maximize performance starting today.”
Since its inception in August 2024, Alchemyca has been helping digester operators elevate performance by applying its deep expertise in biotechnology and industrial bioprocessing.
The company has assembled a world-class team to deliver the Claritix platform. This team blends complementary strengths in anaerobic digestion science, plant operations, analytics and AI, data infrastructure, and user-centered product design. The result is a scalable solution deployable in complex, real-world facilities enabling immediate and repeatable value for customers.
“Alchemyca is ushering in a new era of anaerobic digester performance,” said Brian Brazeau, Partner, Ferment. “By integrating real‑time analytics, AI/ML, and targeted biocatalyst deployment, they are helping the biogas industry shift from reactive waste management to precise, intelligent, highly optimized biorefineries.”
