Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Five BioenergycoreTechnology or Integration · 11 June 2025HoSt partnered with Five Bioenergy for the development of five of Spain's largest biogas facilities. This partnership leverages HoSt's technology portfolio with Five Bioenergy's local market presence and project development capabilities.
• Global NRG RenewablescoreTechnology or Integration · 28 August 2024HoSt Bio-Energy Systems North America will supply biogas, RNG and CO2 liquefaction technology for Global NRG Renewables' Distillery Waste-to-RNG Project in Kentucky. This is a significant North American project demonstrating HoSt's expansion into the US market for RNG production from industrial waste streams.
• TwencecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerTwence (waste management company in the Netherlands) supplies sustainable heat via a newly constructed heat pipeline between Twence and Grolsch. This heat supply enables the biogas at Grolsch's wastewater treatment plant to be valorized into biomethane instead of being used for direct heating. A cooperative green energy initiative.
