      Der Biomeiler wurde erstmals von dem Franzosen Jean Pain (1928-1981) in der Provence entwickelt. Er verwertete Baum- und Strauchschnitt und setzte einen natürlichen Verrottungsprozess in Gang und gewann dadurch warmes Wasser, Warmluft, Biogas und hochwertigen Kompost. Hierbei kam es weder zu einer Verbrennung noch fiel Abfall an.
