VIENNA, AUSTRIA / Collarmele, Italy: BIOGEST project Biometano Energy is nominated for the AD & Biogas Industry Awards 2025 in the category “Net Zero Circular Solutions”. The nomination highlights Biometano Energy’s work to create a circular economy by sustainably developing and operating its 500 Nm3/h biomethane energy project in the Italian Fucino region.
The AD and Biogas Industry Awards and Gala Dinner, hosted by ADBA (Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association) and WBA (World Biogas Association), recognizes and celebrates achievements across the full spectrum of the anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas industry. The Awards Ceremony occurs on July 09, 2025, during the World Biogas Expo week in Birmingham, UK.
Biometano Energy is the first own plant operation project (OPO) under the new brand BIOP of the BIOGEST-Group. BIOP holds a majority stake of 85% in the nominated project, which is built with the BIOGEST-PowerRing technology. The project integrates a closed-loop system that converts over 75,000 tons of chicken manure and vegetable processing residues —primarily fennel waste — into renewable biomethane, organic fertilizer, and food-grade CO₂. Future plans include the integration of photovoltaic systems to achieve energy self-sufficiency.
