Strategy and added value
Verbio stands for delivering sustainable renewable energy that is both scalable and compatible with existing infrastructure. As a leading integrated bioenergy producer, we use raw materials and residual materials from regional agriculture to produce renewable fuels and green chemicals on an industrial scale in our biorefineries in Europe, North America, and Asia. This puts us in an ideal position to benefit from the growing demand for CO₂ reduction in both the mandatory and voluntary markets, and the global expansion of renewable energies.
Our competitive advantage lies in an integrated platform and proprietary biorefinery technologies that together deliver industry-leading returns, thanks to:
- The production of various high-quality products from every tonne of biomass
- The flexible use of raw materials to optimize costs, yields, and availability
- Maximizing added value through complete control over the entire process chain
In addition to the tailwind from stricter climate protection requirements in the EU, we are strategically expanding in North America, a market with a volume of over USD 50 billion. We are tapping into additional growth opportunities with new plants and innovative product lines, such as bio-based chemicals produced in our ethenolysis project. This geographical and product-specific expansion strengthens our market position, and ensures that we can grow flexibly and with stability even in dynamic and volatile markets.
Our proprietary and partially patented biorefinery process maximizes resource efficiency, and generates multiple revenue streams by creating a variety of products from a single biomass input. With our innovative technology, we are largely independent of any single source of raw materials and can process the optimum input depending on costs, availability, and yield.
We stay financially stable thanks to our disciplined capital allocation and conservative balance sheet structure. We focus on resource efficiency, innovative technologies, and premium products in order to maximize our profitability and generate a strong cash flow. By continuously optimizing our processes we secure attractive long-term margins that enable us to finance further growth and distribute a dividend to our shareholders, taking into account our long-term goals. Our return on capital employed (ROCE) is well above the industry average.
