Bright Renewables

What Bright Renewables does

Bright Renewables B.V., headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands, designs, manufactures and services fully integrated systems that convert biogas and industrial flue gases into renewable gas products and captured CO2. Its core technology portfolio comprises membrane-based biogas upgrading (PurePac, ≥99.5% methane recovery, ≤0.5% methane slip), CO2 liquefaction using natural refrigerant R744 (CarboPac-L, 99.9% food-grade purity), modular Bio-LNG liquefaction via TPSA and SMR (LiquiPac, operating at −150 to −155°C), bio-CNG compression to 250 bar for virtual-pipeline distribution (PurePac-CNG), and post-combustion carbon capture using amine absorption or VSA (CarboPac-C). Supporting gas-treatment skids remove H2S, VOCs, siloxanes and moisture upstream of upgrading. The company also offers an Ultra-Low-E variant consuming 0.17 kWh/Nm3 for the German market.

Bright Renewables sells primarily to enterprise customers — biogas plant operators, distilleries/fermentation plants, water and wastewater authorities, waste-management companies, heavy-transport operators, and industrial combustion plants — across at least 12 countries spanning Western, Southern, Northern and Central Europe, North America (US HQ in Vancouver, WA) and South America (Brazil). It monetizes through capital-equipment sales of the product families above, recurring service and maintenance contracts staffed by in-house 24/7 teams with a remote control centre, a "Biogas Upgrading as a Service" managed-service model that removes upfront capital from the customer, and a Renewable Gas Trade Service that commercializes biomethane and bio-CO2 output. Multi-year contracts and custom-engineered system sizing (e.g., PurePac Compact 100–750 Nm3/hr through Grand 1,500–12,000 Nm3/hr; CarboPac-L Compact 600–1,200 kg/hr through Grand 4,500–6,000 kg/hr; LiquiPac 5–25 tons/day; amine carbon capture 500–40,000 Nm3/hr) reflect a project-driven, industrial sales motion.

The company is a privately held subsidiary of HoSt Group, a larger renewable-energy systems organization, and shares cross-referrals and engineering synergies with the parent. Headcount sits in the 51–100 range. Bright Renewables positions itself as the sole provider offering fully integrated in-house manufacturing and in-house service across the entire biogas-upgrading, CO2-liquefaction, Bio-LNG, bio-CNG, and carbon-capture stack, with disclosed platform operational availability above 97%. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are custom-engineered based on capacity, technology and project specifications.

Core offering

Bright Renewables designs, manufactures, and services integrated renewable gas systems including biogas upgrading (PurePac), biomethane liquefaction to Bio-LNG (LiquiPac), bio-CNG compression (PurePac-CNG), CO2 liquefaction (CarboPac-L), and post-combustion carbon capture (CarboPac-C). The company also delivers pre-treatment gas treatment systems, 24/7 service and maintenance contracts, a Biogas Upgrading as a Service operating model, and a renewable gas trade service for industrial biogas plant operators, water authorities, waste management companies, distilleries, and combustion plants worldwide.

Product overview

Bright Renewables offers a fully integrated portfolio of renewable gas technologies and carbon capture systems, delivering comprehensive in-house capabilities from manufacturing to maintenance. The core product family includes PurePac (biogas upgrading using membrane technology), PurePac-CNG (virtual pipeline for compressed bio-CNG transport), LiquiPac (bio-LNG liquefaction using TPSA and SMR technology), and CarboPac systems for CO2 liquefaction and carbon capture. These products form a comprehensive suite where biogas upgrading combined with CO2 liquefaction achieves 100% methane recovery, while carbon capture technology decarbonizes combustion plants. The company also offers service and maintenance contracts, biogas upgrading as a service, and renewable gas trade services. Key technology differentiators include membrane technology with methane slip as low as 0.1%, natural refrigerant CO2 liquefaction (R744), and amine/VSA carbon capture with food-grade CO2 output.
