BioValue

What BioValue does

BioValue B.V. is a privately held Dutch renewable energy company that designs, builds, owns, and operates biogas production facilities, converting organic waste streams into green gas (grid-quality biomethane), bio-CNG, bio-LNG, and dried manure pellets. Founded on the back of a single farm-based digester in Tirns in 2007, the company was formally incorporated as Agradu BV on 12 October 2017 and rebranded to BioValue in July 2022 as it expanded beyond agricultural waste into transport fuel markets. Its underlying technology platform combines anaerobic digestion, membrane-based upgrading to natural-gas quality, nitrogen stripping to enable nitrogen-rich feedstocks such as chicken manure, and (at the Amsterdam site) bio-LNG liquefaction at -162°C. The company currently runs a portfolio of five biogas plants across the Netherlands (Tirns, Luttelgeest, Sint Nicolaasga, Cothen, Nistelrode) and is developing the world's largest bio-LNG facility in the Port of Amsterdam in partnership with Titan Clean Fuels, targeting up to 200,000 tons of bio-LNG per year.

BioValue operates a vertically integrated B2B business model. Revenue streams include: (i) sale of green gas injected into the Dutch natural gas grid or supplied directly to households; (ii) sale of bio-CNG and bio-LNG to transport and shipping offtakers; (iii) organic waste processing services (tipping fees) from restaurants, factories, and supermarkets under guaranteed-uptake contracts; (iv) digestate/manure pellet sales to agricultural farmers as organic fertilizer; and (v) third-party biogas plant management, 24/7 remote monitoring, and EPC/construction services. Pricing is quote-based and contract-driven, with multi-year offtake structures. Customer segments span organic waste producers (primary), dairy/livestock farmers (primary), heavy transport and shipping (primary, via Titan), and greenhouse horticulture (secondary, for CO2 and residual heat offtake at Luttelgeest). The company holds ISCC and Better Biomass sustainability certifications, is a member of the European Biogas Association and Platform Groengas, and has secured an exclusive Dutch/Belgian partnership with Schaumann BioEnergy for process optimization additives.

The company is founder-led by managing director Ids Schaap, who has held the role since the original Tirns installation. Other key personnel include an operations director, finance & administration manager, feedstock procurement manager, project managers, plant managers for each subsidiary facility, and supporting engineering, quality, legal, and finance staff, consistent with a headcount in the 11-50 band that grew 300% during 2020-2021. Capital structure is privately held with no parent company; financing to date includes a 2021 equity crowdfunding round (Groengas Brabant), a 2024 STX Group-led financing partnership with Nationaal Groenfonds as junior financier (Groengas Cothen), and strategic/JV partnerships with Titan Clean Fuels and Kanadevia Inova. Operating geography is the Netherlands only, with no disclosed international expansion beyond partner relationships.

Core offering

BioValue operates multiple biogas plants across the Netherlands that ferment organic waste streams (manure, food industry residues, supermarket waste) into biogas, which is upgraded via membrane filtration into green gas (grid-quality renewable natural gas) and further refined into bio-CNG and bio-LNG transportation fuels. The company also produces dried digestate manure pellets as organic fertilizer, and provides fee-based biogas plant construction, management, and 24/7 remote monitoring services to other plant owners.

Product overview

BioValue operates a platform of biogas production and conversion services, transforming organic waste into renewable energy products. The core offering consists of green gas, bio-CNG (compressed natural gas for vehicles), and bio-LNG (liquefied natural gas for heavy transport and shipping). The company manages a portfolio of biogas plant installations across the Netherlands and provides construction and management services. After fermentation, valuable by-products including manure pellets are produced for agricultural use. The company positions bio-LNG as its strategic focus for future growth, particularly through the world's largest bio-LNG facility in Amsterdam.
