VORN Bioenergy
Company Overview
VORN Bioenergy GmbH
Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany
2003
Approximately 120 employees (as of 2023) (source: vornbioenergy.com). No public revenue figures for 2023 or later have been released; however, the operational plants generated around 140 GWh of biomethane annually from five German facilities by the end of 2022 (source: vornbioenergy.com).
What They Do
VORN Bioenergy focuses on the production of biomethane through the upgrading of biogas, utilizing agricultural residues, by-products such as olive press residues and sugar beet pulp, manure, silage, and organic waste through anaerobic digestion processes (source: vornbioenergy.com). The company offers services throughout the entire lifecycle of facilities: from project development, including permits and raw material procurement strategies with over 300 agricultural suppliers, to the construction and delivery of plants, and long-term operations management with digital real-time monitoring tools for technical, biological, and commercial optimization. Additionally, VORN integrates CO2 capture for liquefying food-grade CO2 and produces organic fertilizers from fermentation residues (source: vornbioenergy.com). Target markets include agriculture, the food industry (e.g., olive oil and sugar producers), local energy companies, industrial consumers, and energy traders, with biomethane being fed directly on-site or into natural gas networks (source: vornbioenergy.com).
Projects & Track Record
Since 2003, VORN has implemented over 40 biogas and biomethane projects, including Europe’s first biomethane plant in 2006 and a portfolio of over 130 MW of managed plants across six European markets. The five operational German plants produced 140 GWh of biomethane annually by 2022 and avoided 13.16 ktCO2e emissions, equivalent to 4,000 gasoline cars (source: vornbioenergy.com). Ongoing major projects include eight biomethane plants in the Andalusian region of Spain for the world’s largest olive oil producer, converting pomace into biomethane and CO2 with fertilizer by-products; facilities utilizing sugar beet residues near German factories; a plant with 1,000 sm3/h in Ferrara, Italy (environmental permit secured, construction started in 2023); over nine additional Italian projects; and new developments in Spain through a partnership with Greenar (source: vornbioenergy.com).
Recent Developments
In the past two years, VORN announced its reopening under the new brand following its acquisition by GIG in February 2023, with the portfolio expanding from five German plants to enhanced pipelines. In 2023, environmental permits were secured, and construction of the project in Ferrara, Italy (1,000 sm3/h) began with Alvus; VORN Bioenergy Italia srl was established in 2024 following the acquisition of Alvus srl in October 2023, strengthening a pipeline of over 10 projects in Italy (source: bioenergy-news.com). Additionally, a partnership with Greenar for new developments in Spain was formed, and CO2 liquefaction in Brandis was initiated with Bright Renewables (two 70 m3 tanks, advanced controls) (source: bright-renewables.com).
Working There
VORN offers positions in project development (permits, raw material management), engineering and construction, agronomy, plant operations (technical, biological, commercial optimization with 24/7 digital support), asset management, and leadership roles such as co-managing director. Following the acquisition in 2022, the team grew significantly, and there is an ongoing recruitment program with open positions in 2023 (source: vornbioenergy.com). Hiring primarily takes place at the headquarters in Regensburg, with a new unit in Bolzano, Italy (VORN Bioenergy Italia), and potential expansion sites in Spain. The company culture emphasizes long-term partnerships with suppliers, innovation through interdisciplinary teams, and regional focus with local agricultural networks (source: inspiratia.com).
