VERDEMOBIL BIOGAZ

What VERDEMOBIL BIOGAZ does

VERDEMOBIL BIOGAZ is a French engineering and renewable gas services firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Montaigu-Vendée, with a 45-person team organized across engineering, exploitation, maintenance, production, logistics, R&D and support functions. The company designs, fabricates, commissions and maintains modular, skid-mounted installations that valorize biogas from agricultural and municipal methanization plants into four marketable outputs: biomethane (grid injection via PSA or membrane filtration upgrading), food-grade BioCO2 (cryogenic distillation and liquefaction of off-gas), BioGNL (cryogenic liquefaction of biomethane for heavy mobility and off-grid uses), and BioH2 (steam reforming of biogas to renewable hydrogen). Core technologies rely on exclusive licenses from CRYOCOLLECT for the cryogenic BioCO2 and BioGNL processes, complemented by in-house PSA and membrane know-how refined since the company's first French biogas upgrading unit in 2010.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time project-based equipment sales (Conception et Fabrication), recurring long-term maintenance contracts (typically 15-year terms with 24/7 remote supervision and on-site intervention), managed-services investment and operation through the VERDEREN subsidiary (created 2023 with EREN INDUSTRIES), and direct fluid commercialization of BioCO2 and BioGNL via an owned cryogenic logistics fleet. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting agricultural cooperatives, methanization operators, waste management companies, industrial CO2 buyers (food, beverage, greenhouse, pharmaceutical, fire safety), engineering firms, and increasingly international customers in Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Canada. ISO 22000 (March 2026), FSSC 22000, HACCP, and ISBT/EIGA/E290 food-grade compliance underpin the food and pharmaceutical BioCO2 sales motion.

The company has positioned itself as the French pioneer in biomethane valorization and the domestic leader in renewable BioCO2, with 14 operational BioCO2 units and 50,000+ tonnes/year of installed capacity as of 2025, of which 10 units are owned and operated directly by VERDEMOBIL or its VERDEREN subsidiary. Capital structure is private, with founder and CEO Philippe Khairallah controlling alongside institutional investors EREN INDUSTRIES (2023), EIFFEL INVESTMENT GROUP (2024) and OCÉAN PARTICIPATIONS (2024), reflecting a deliberate transition from equipment vendor toward integrated developer-operator.

Revenue model

1. Equipment Sales and Installation (Conception et fabrication): Design, manufacture, and commissioning of turnkey biogas upgrading, BioCO2 capture, biomethane liquefaction, and BioH2 production installations. Revenue is project-based, one-time, covering engineering, fabrication, skid-mounting, testing, and site commissioning. All installations are skidded for rapid deployment.
2. Maintenance Contracts: Preventive and corrective maintenance services for installed equipment. Includes 24/7 supervision, remote interventions (average 30 min phone, 1h via supervision), on-site visits, safety checks, sensor calibration, and automation verification. Retrofit and revamping services for technology upgrades.
3. Investment and Exploitation (VERDEREN subsidiary): Through subsidiary VERDEREN (created 2023 with EREN INDUSTRIES), the company invests in, owns, and operates its own BioCO2 and BioGNL installations. Revenue comes from commercializing produced BioCO2 and BioGNL. Operators benefit from 'zero-trouble, minimum investment' model — VERDEMOBIL handles everything from study to exploitation, transport, and fluid commercialization.
4. BioCO2 and BioGNL Sales (Fluid Commercialization): Sale of liquid BioCO2 and BioGNL produced from owned/operated installations. Sales to industrial food, agriculture (greenhouse growers), pharmaceutical, fire safety sectors. Includes logistics, delivery, and storage equipment (tanks, vaporizers, regulation systems). Own fleet logistics for last-mile delivery.

Core offering

VERDEMOBIL BIOGAZ designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains skid-mounted turnkey installations for biogas valorization, covering four product lines: (1) biogas upgrading to biomethane via PSA or membrane filtration for grid injection, (2) cryogenic BioCO2 capture and liquefaction from upgrading off-gas, (3) biomethane liquefaction to BioGNL, and (4) BioH2 renewable hydrogen production via steam reforming. The company also operates its own BioCO2 and BioGNL installations through subsidiary VERDEREN, selling fluids directly to industrial buyers.

Product overview

VERDEMOBIL BIOGAZ is a French renewable gas specialist offering an integrated suite of biogas valorization solutions. The core portfolio comprises four interconnected product lines: biogas upgrading to biomethane (Épuration du biogaz) using PSA and membrane technologies, BioCO2 capture and liquefaction from upgrading off-gas for food-grade applications, BioGNL (liquefied biomethane) for heavy mobility and off-grid uses, and BioH2 production via steam reforming. Services span the full lifecycle from design and manufacturing of turnkey skidded installations, to 24/7 maintenance with remote supervision, to investment and operation through subsidiary VERDEREN—allowing clients to either purchase equipment or opt for zero-investment operation with VERDEMOBIL handling everything from installation to fluid commercialization.
