Sustainable Bio Solutions

What Sustainable Bio Solutions does

Sustainable Bio Solutions Aabenraa K/S is a Danish partnership (K/S) that owns and operates the SBS Kliplev biogas plant in Kliplev, near Aabenraa in Southern Denmark. The company processes agricultural biomass — primarily livestock manure (husdyrgødning/gyllen) and deep litter from local farmers — through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, which is then upgraded to natural gas grid quality and injected directly into the Danish natural gas network via a contract with DGD (Dansk Gas Distribution). The facility is designed for an annual output of 41 million cubic meters of methane and combines one organic-certified processing line with two conventional lines, giving flexibility across biomass feedstocks. Construction and ongoing operations are handled by Bigadan, a Danish builder that has delivered 40 biogas plants, and the asset is backed by Hudson as an investor.

The company earns revenue by selling upgraded methane to the natural gas grid, with farmer suppliers compensated through multi-year individual agreements negotiated via the Leverandørforeningen (Supplier Association). These agreements include free transport of manure within a 25 km radius, payment for supplied biomass, improved fertilizer value, and a dry-matter bonus — terms that have generated waiting lists at operating Danish biogas facilities. In parallel, Sustainable Bio Solutions is a partner in the Green Protein (Grønne Proteiner) consortium, a feasibility project with LandboSyd, Brdr. Ewers A/S, Langelund ApS, GEA Westfalia Separator DK A/S, and farmer Claus Fink Jørgensen, investigating a green biorefinery in Southern Jutland to produce green protein for single-stomached animal feed, funded under the Danish Rural Development Programme 2014–2022. The company is structured as a privately held partnership with 1–10 employees, focused on a single production asset in Southern Denmark, and its stated vision is to lead the Danish biogas industry while investing in additional Danish renewable energy technologies.

Core offering

Sustainable Bio Solutions owns and operates the SBS Kliplev biogas plant in Southern Denmark, which processes agricultural biomass (livestock manure, deep litter, and other organic materials) via anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. The biogas is upgraded to natural gas grid quality and injected directly into the Danish natural gas network via a DGD connection, with a full production capacity of 41 million cubic meters of methane per year.

Product overview

Sustainable Bio Solutions operates as a partnership focused on investing in biogas and other green energy technologies in Denmark. The company operates the SBS-Kliplev biogas plant, its primary core product, which converts agricultural biomass into methane gas. The plant includes one organic-suitable processing line and two conventional lines, with capacity to produce 41 million cubic meters of methane annually. The company also participates in a green protein bioraffinering project, a collaborative initiative to explore producing green protein for animal feed from biomass.

Direct peers

• Maabjerg Energy Center: Large Danish multi-vector renewable energy facility combining biogas, heat, and power from agricultural waste. Comparable in scale, agricultural feedstock profile, and integrated energy-system approach.
• Nature Energy: Denmark's largest biogas operator, running dozens of agricultural-waste biogas plants that upgrade gas to RNG for grid injection. Closely comparable to SBS Kliplev in feedstock (manure/ag residues), process (anaerobic digestion + upgrading), and offtake (Danish natural gas grid).
• Hashøj Biogas: Operating Danish agricultural-biomass biogas plant producing upgraded RNG to the grid, established under Denmark's cooperative biogas model. Closely comparable in feedstock mix, offtake, and farmer-supplier contract structure.
• Lemvig Biogas: Danish agricultural-biomass biogas plant in western Jutland producing upgraded methane for the grid and local heat. Same feedstock (manure/ag residues), same Danish regulatory and gas-grid context, and similar cooperative supplier-association model.
• Bigadan A/S: Bigadan is SBS's EPC and operating contractor but also designs, builds, and operates its own portfolio of Danish biogas plants. The same technology base and Danish geography make it a directly comparable developer/operator peer.
• Scan Biogas: Nordic agricultural-biomass biogas EPC and operator active in Sweden. Similar manure-driven AD plants and grid-upgraded RNG output make it a comparable agricultural-feedstock thesis in an adjacent Nordic regulatory environment.

Broad incumbents

• WELTEC BioPower GmbH: European EPC and operator of agricultural-biogas and biomethane plants with installed base across Germany, Denmark and other EU markets. Closely comparable in technology (AD + upgrading) and EPC-led delivery model to SBS.
• Verbio Vereinigte BioEnergie AG: German-listed biomethane/RNG and biodiesel producer with multi-site agricultural-waste plants and direct gas-grid injection. Comparable product (RNG) and offtake model at significantly larger scale; broader portfolio reduces direct comparability but anchors industry benchmarks.
• EnviTec Biogas AG: German biogas plant builder and operator with a European footprint covering agricultural and organic-waste AD facilities. Comparable technology stack and agricultural-feedstock focus at a broader, more international scale than SBS.

Others

• PlanEnergi: Danish renewable-energy consultancy and project developer active in district heating, biogas, and green-transition projects. Adjacent enabling peer that influences Danish biogas feasibility work and project origination.
