We deliver sustainability

With our technology, we close ecological loops. Our production sites generate virtually no waste. But that’s only one aspect of our sustainability efforts. Our products replace fossil fuels, driving the decarbonization of industry and transportation. In the 2024/2025 fiscal year, the products we delivered helped our customers achieve a CO₂-saving effect (“handprint”) of 5.5 million metric tons of CO₂ equivalents. We have set ourselves the ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2035 (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions).

Sustainability through the circular economy

Our closed-loop business for a green future

Our biorefinery concept is a closed-loop system that maximizes the use of the entire plant for biofuel production. We refine over 99% of the resulting residual materials into high-quality renewable components for a wide range of industrial applications. The feed and fertilizers produced in our plants are returned to agriculture. In doing so, we are making an important contribution to strengthening and decarbonizing regional agriculture while supplying industry with renewable molecules.

Leading through innovation

Our biorefinery is based on innovative technologies developed using Verbio expertise. A research and development team of process engineers, chemists, biotechnologists, and other specialists is dedicated to the continuous optimization and further development of our processes. This enables us to increase our competitiveness and combine economic success with social responsibility and environmental protection. In recent years, we have systematically expanded our innovation activities.

We produce not only first- and second-generation biofuels, but also fertilizers and animal feed for agriculture. By using previously unused residual materials, such as straw, we open up additional raw material potential for the production of sustainable renewable products. With phytosterols and glycerin, we supply renewable raw materials for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and foodstuff industries. In the future, this portfolio will be expanded with bio-based chemicals and high-quality protein. 

A technology that recycles everything and conserves resources

We continuously optimize the use of resources in our biorefineries. This enables us to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through a series of process stages we make almost complete use of the raw materials used in our production. This increases the efficiency of our production processes, and steadily reduces our CO₂ footprint. We can produce 5 MWh of biofuel from 1 MWh of production energy.

Our portfolio of green products made from sustainably produced biomass is becoming ever broader. It is right that we invest in our research and development. Increasing product diversification will give us several core product lines outside the transportation sector. It is therefore an important guarantee of growth and stability for Verbio, and a gain for climate protection.
