About Verdalia
We are here to rewrite the future by turning the green energy transition into a reality accessible to everyone.
Verdalia was born with one mission: to lead the European green energy transition.
We are doing it through our global commitment to a circular economy in which biomethane (and its derivatives) is the basis for a sustainable, lasting, real and accessible change.
100% green energy that we can use, leveraging all existing gas and energy infrastructures.
Pioneering excellence in biomethane and biofertilizer production.
Biomethane is an emerging renewable energy that has been gaining traction in recent years. True to our vision, Verdalia has made a far-reaching commitment to promote real change on the road to the energy transition. We push the boundaries of innovation in biomethane production to achieve the highest standards of excellence in sustainability, technology and processes, ensuring a continuous cycle of added value for all stakeholders: farmers, livestock breeders, the energy sector, public administrations, investors, and society at large.

What we do
What is biomethane?
The biomethane we produce is obtained through the (oxygen-free) anaerobic digestion process of biodegradable organic raw materials.
In addition to reducing greenhouse emissions and fostering rural development by supporting agricultural professionals and livestock farmers, biomethane has the same characteristics as natural gas and is completely interchangeable, which means that it can be used in many different sectors such as transportation, agriculture and livestock:
It has multiple uses across sectors as diverse as transportation, industry, electricity generation and household consumption.
It can leverage existing energy infrastructures, lowering development costs.
It promotes Europe’s energy independence and local self-sufficiency.

Why we are
different -
European Leadership
Our mission has always been to provide a renewable alternative at both European and national levels. We are a group committed to achieving European energy independence and we adapt to the different local needs and their specific biodiversity.
-
Smart plants
We have designed and built our first plants with artificial intelligence, data management and machine learning for the continuous improvement and optimization of processes, providing greater safety, traceability and high efficiency standards. Our vision encourages us to constantly innovate our processes and to promote state-of-the-art infrastructures.
-
Financial and business strength
We will invest €1 billion in biomethane projects across Europe over the next four years; our high-level management team, led by Fernando Bergasa and Cristina Ávila, is backed by Goldman Sachs.
-
Purpose-driven
Safeguarding the environment and protecting our future is in our DNA. That is why we are oriented towards long-term sustainability and act accordingly when making decisions. We are committed to achieving operational excellence and process optimization while actively promoting circular economy.
-
We champion the circular economy
At Verdalia, we firmly believe in the power of the circular economy to solve the challenges we are currently facing. For this reason, we complement our biomethane offering with biofertilizers and bioCO2.
BIOFERTILIZER
The European Commission has set the challenging goal of achieving a reduction in nutrient losses of at least 50 % by 2030, while, at the same, time is seeking to ensure that soil fertility does not deteriorate. Therefore, the use of fertilizers will be reduced by 20%.
In this context, the new EU regulation 2019/1009 lays the groundwork for shifting towards more efficient and sustainable agriculture by including the concept of biostimulants and limiting chemical fertilizers, mineral extraction or inorganic materials.
Biofertilizers are a clear response to this challenge and offer the following advantages:
- Nutritionally designed.
- Optimization of resources, which fosters circular economy.
- Reduction of water pollution.
- Reduction of odor nuisance when spread in the field.

BIO CO2
During the anaerobic digestion process, renewable CO2 with a neutral greenhouse effect is emitted, which in turn can be reintroduced into the agriculture and livestock sector, establishing a real circular economy.
Who is it for
We are your strategic partner to help you achieve your energy transition goals.
The road to the energy transition is a shared journey. Together we can achieve our mutual goal and build a better and lasting model.Commitment & Impact
