VORN Bioenergy

Office concept meets corporate core 💎 Our new office spaces reflect our commitment to collaboration. We are particularly proud of the creative room naming concept, based on an internal contest and inspired by the process of biogas production. Meeting rooms: Hydro & Acido Just as hydrolysis and acidogenesis are essential stages in biogas fermentation, our meeting rooms serve as spaces where ideas blend, tasks are outlined and concrete plans are formed.   Director offices: Aceto & Metano Reflecting the final phases of biogas production, our executive offices are named after them. Here, our strategies are refined and put into action.   Team offices: Carbo, Nitro & Ferro Teams are the backbone of VORN, just like to the vital elements carbon, nitrogen and iron in biogas fermentation. In our team offices, there's room for creative and strategic collaboration.   Phone booths: Meso & Thermo Inspired by the temperature stages of fermentation, these booths offer ideal environments for phone conversations, ranging from calm to heated calls.   As we see these spaces every day, they keep us connected to our mission to unlock the potential of biomethane across Europe 🚀 #VORNBioenergy #WeAreVORN #GreenEnergy #NewOffice #Teamwork #Regensburg

Did you know? Let’s kick off the weekend with some olive insights! While our project and feedstock teams delve into olive pomace as feedstock for our plants, here are some daily-use facts straight from the source. Ever wondered about spotting high-quality olive oil? Here’s a breakdown of the most common grades: 🫒 Extra Virgin: The crème de la crème and highest quality olive oil, extracted from the first cold pressing of olives, without chemical treatments. Perfect for salads or bread dipping, preserving natural flavors and nutrients. 🫒 Virgin: Slightly lower in quality, but still unrefined and retaining much of its natural aroma. Ideal for cooking at low to medium temperatures, adding a delicate touch to dishes. 🫒 Refined: The process of refining removes impurities and flaws, offering a neutral flavour and a higher smoke point, great for high-heat cooking like frying. Already hungry? Here’s to a weekend filled with culinary adventures! #VORNBioenergy #GreenEnergy #WeAreVORN #Biomass #OliveOil #FunFact

When olives are pressed to extract olive oil, the leftover olive pomace still holds valuable resources! ♻️ Instead of being wasted, these olive remnants can be repurposed in various ways, contributing to more sustainability in olive oil production. 🌱 One common practice is composting. By composting olive pomace, it can be turned into nutrient-rich fertiliser for gardens and agriculture, closing the loop on organic waste. 🌾 Additionally, olive pomace can be utilised as animal feed, providing a nutritious supplement for livestock. 🔋 By partnering with the olive industry, our innovative approach involves using olive pomace for biomethane production. This not only reduces waste but also converts it into green energy, boosting the local circular economy. A win-win for everyone! #VORNBioenergy #GreenEnergy #WeAreVORN #Biomass #AnaerobicDigestion #Partnerships

Ambitious goals need strong partnerships: milestone achieved! 🤝 We’re excited to enter a groundbreaking partnership with Oleicola El Tejar (OET), a leading company in Spain’s olive industry, and GREENAR, a Spanish engineering company specialised in renewable energy, to develop, construct and operate new biomethane plants. Together, we are committed to realising at least 8 projects, with OET ensuring a secure supply of feedstock with 1.2 million tons of olive pomace annually for the next 20+ years. Greenar is committed to taking the project to construction and VORN will oversee development, construction and operations, ensuring the highest standards of excellence. This partnership addresses a significant environmental challenge for the entire Andalusian region by reducing air emissions and turning the olive industry from a major fossil gas consumer to a major green gas producer. By applying advanced technologies in the treatment of olive pomace, we are enabling an efficient and environmentally friendly use of the product, returning the nutrients to the olive producers. At VORN Bioenergy, long-lasting and trusting partnerships are right at our core. Our mission to unlock the potential of biomethane across Europe drives us to engage in partnerships that leverage local resources and expertise, creating win-win solutions for all involved. This partnership with OET and Greenar is a prime example of how we can work together to set up circular processes and generate sustainable energy. As a strong team, we’re contributing to the green energy transition in the Andalusian region and beyond. Thank you to everyone involved for making this possible. Stay tuned for what's coming 🌱   Partners involved: Fermín Garbayo and Almudena Gurpegui from Dentons España for expert legal support.   #VORNBioenergy #GreenEnergy #WeAreVORN #Biomethane #Sustainability #Partnership #CircularEconomy

Save the date: 📅 18-19 June 2024 📍 Brussels, Belgium Our CEO, Thorsten Holl, will be taking the stage on 19 June at 15:15 to share insights on the “Biogas Transition”. He’ll explore strategies to fully leverage the potential of existing biogas assets and maximise their profitability. Through practical insights and cases, you’ll gain valuable knowledge on effective asset revamping. Will we see you there? 🤝 Join us for the congress – Let’s connect and exchange ideas on local partnerships, advanced biofuels and decarbonisation. Together, as partners, we will drive the green energy transition forward. We’re more than excited to meet you in Brussels! #VORNBioenergy #Biomethane #WeAreVORN #Partnerships #CircularEconomy #EnergyTransition #InternationalBiogasCongress2024

Shaping the future through strong partnerships – since day one 🤝 We‘ve recently completed the sale of our biogas plants in Friedrichsruhe and Frauenmark – a move that signifies much more than just a transaction. This project began as a vision for mutual value creation and has evolved into a sustainable partnership model that showcases how local cooperation can profit all stakeholders involved. Initially, we co-developed these plants, with a total capacity of 515 kW, with a local partner who not only provided the feedstock but also shared in the operational management, reaping the benefits of using the heat generated on-site for heating the local animal stalls and having a sustainable solution for usage of manure from these. This model, while small in scale, illustrates the early stages of our current approach to collaboration in developing new projects. But why did we decide to sell and how come this is a win-win nonetheless? Structural changes in the organisation of our partner and some strategical changes in his business model, facilitated an updated view on the future cooperation. The owner’s proximity and agricultural alignment allow them to integrate seamlessly with the operations and last not least will now be used as an important supplement sustaining his core business. The sale allows us to accelerate our growth strategy through the sharpened focus on biomethane technologies. By prioritising projects that align with our core strengths, we can utilise our resources to drive forward our development pipeline more effectively. To achieve our ambitious goals, strong partnerships are essential. Whether it‘s with municipalities or the food industry, setting up circular processes or re-engineering existing assets for better efficiency and sustainability, our approach is about creating value across the entire value chain. As we continue to explore and expand these innovative partnership models, we invite you to reach out. Together, we can support the green energy transition and unlock the full potential of biogas across Europe.
