Agripower France

What Agripower France does

AGRIPOWER France, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Carquefou (Loire-Atlantique), is a publicly traded constructor of anaerobic digestion (biogas) plants listed on Euronext Growth Paris (ticker: ALAGR) since November 2019. The company designs, engineers, and builds turnkey biogas installations for French farmers, farmer cooperatives, agri-food industries, and municipalities, with a portfolio of approximately 95 operational units across France combining cogeneration (3,300 kWe total installed capacity) and biomethane injection (845 Nm3/h total capacity). Its core technology is centered on WELTEC BIOPOWER's stainless steel digester architecture, integrated with AGRIPOWER's own MultiMix grinder pretreatment, pasteurisation/hygienisation for category 3 animal by-products, digestate phase separation, and membrane-based biomethane purification systems.

The business model is project-based and multi-engineed. Primary revenue derives from EPC turnkey construction contracts priced on a custom quote basis per project, supplemented by recurring maintenance and consumables revenue (spare parts, activated carbon, enzymes, agitators, engines, and ATEX-certified servicing) across the installed base. AGRIPOWER also acts as a financial investor in client projects, structuring CPB contracts, crowdfunding, and banking finance — effectively co-investing to secure project wins. A fourth revenue stream is the conversion of existing cogeneration units to biomethane injection, addressing the installed base of older operators seeking more stable CPB-backed revenue.

AGRIPOWER sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales led by a Business Development Director and supported by an in-house engineering bureau, project managers, and field technicians. Marketing is centered on the company website, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube), industry trade shows (BIO360, SEMFi), and structured press/investor communications. The company maintains the Qualimétha quality certification and a process license for anaerobic digestion and biogas valorization valid through 24/04/2028, and operates a secondary regional base at Ennezat (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) supporting the Grand Ouest technician network. Key customer logos include Methalica (Iffendic), AGRIGAZ Vire (a 37-farm cooperative producing 266 Nm3/h biomethane), Agri Métha Groupe des Marais, Gazelec de l'Odet, and BRETS (SOBER 1 and 2).

Core offering

Agripower France designs, engineers, and builds turnkey anaerobic digestion (methanisation) plants that convert agricultural residues, agri-food waste, and other organic inputs into biomethane and/or electricity and heat. The company delivers two primary plant types — biomethane injection plants (purified gas injected into the natural gas grid) and cogeneration plants (electricity and heat) — and also offers conversion of existing cogeneration plants to biomethane injection, alongside maintenance, audit, consumables, and project financing services.

Product overview

Agripower France is a constructor of anaerobic digestion (biogas) plants, established in 2012, offering a portfolio of turnkey biomethane injection plants and cogeneration units (≥50 kW) for agricultural, industrial, and community clients. The product portfolio centers on two core plant types: biomethane injection plants (transforming organic waste into grid-injected biomethane) and cogeneration plants (producing electricity and heat simultaneously). Supporting the core plants are proprietary technologies including the Multi-Mix grinding system, pasteurization/hygienization, stainless steel digesters, and digestate phase separation equipment. Services encompass integrated engineering, turnkey project construction, ATEX-certified maintenance with real-time monitoring, retrofit and compliance upgrades, and consumables supply. The company operates as general contractor with an in-house engineering bureau, leveraging a long-standing partnership with WELTEC Biopower for stainless steel components.

Direct peers

• Fonroche Biogaz: French renewable energy developer with a dedicated biomethane subsidiary building and operating AD plants on agricultural and agro-industrial sites. Competes with Agripower for biomethane injection EPC and project financing mandates in France.
• Evergaz: French independent biomethane developer and operator owning and operating AD plants across France. Comparable to Agripower's project development and operation arm (especially where Agripower acts as investor), targeting the same agricultural and industrial feedstocks.
• WELTEC Biopower: Germany-based stainless steel AD plant constructor with 15+ year partnership with Agripower; supplies the core digester and MultiMix technology Agripower integrates. Direct peer on AD/biogas EPC in Europe and the most operationally comparable company to Agripower by technology stack.
• ETIA Process Solutions: French process engineering firm providing AD and biogas plant technology and turnkey solutions to industrial and agricultural clients. Direct peer on AD plant EPC and process design competing for similar French projects.
• Methaneo (SARIA): French AD/biogas plant developer linked to the SARIA Group, active in agricultural and agri-food methanization. Directly comparable to Agripower in target customers (farmers, cooperatives, agri-food) and EPC/turnkey project delivery.
• Naskeo (SUEZ): Leading French AD/biogas plant developer and constructor now owned by SUEZ. Competes head-to-head with Agripower for the same farmer cooperative and agri-food customers in France, offering comparable biomethane injection and cogeneration EPC plus operating services.

Broad incumbents

• VERBIO: European leader in biomethane/RNG production with vertically integrated plants across Germany and beyond. Comparable to Agripower on biomethane production, though VERBIO is a much larger and broader incumbent operating its own plants rather than focusing on EPC.
• ENGIE Biogaz / Valemo: Utility-scale biomethane developer (via Valemo) within ENGIE, France's largest utility. Overlaps Agripower's biomethane injection business but as part of an integrated utility portfolio spanning power generation, grids, and renewable gas.
