Welcome to the age of
Bioenergy
About Verdalia
Verdalia, founded by Fernando Bergasa and Cristina Ávila, together with Goldman Sachs, was created with a mission: to lead the green energy transition in Europe.
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.
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.
Our values
At Verdalia we are driven by the highest standards of quality, rigor and excellence, surpassing European regulatory standards. We recognize the importance of guaranteeing maximum reliability and safety. We relentlessly pursue industrial excellence, always paying meticulous attention to every detail. This commitment involves recruiting the best talent and integrating cutting-edge technology into all our operations and processes.
Here at Verdalia we have the tools to be a real agent of change. We are decisive and efficient; we have a first-class management team and outstanding human resources. And, thanks to the support of Goldman Sachs, we have a financial capacity of €1 billion.
At Verdalia we take pride of our work; we are here to stay, leaving the legacy of a new way of producing energy while creating sustainable, optimal and long-lasting projects. For us, acting now is as important as changing and improving tomorrow.
That is why, beyond biomethane, we promote the circular economy by creating additional value with its derivatives: the production of biofertilizers and bioCO2.
Above all, we are a trustworthy partner for our customers, farmers, livestock breeders and public administrations. We are at their service, helping them to meet the climate and energy challenges they face, proposing solutions to European policies on the management of the organic matter generated by agricultural and livestock activities , and in relation to fertilizers and soil protection.
We thrive on constant innovation. We always think outside the box, putting technology, artificial intelligence, data management and machine learning at the core of our company, continuously improving our processes and our business model.
For us, leadership and innovation are not just goals, they are a way of life.
What we do
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:

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
Commitment & Impact
At Verdalia we offer a circular solution
We are living in times of great uncertainty: climate challenges and desertification, resource scarcity, global population growth, political conflicts, pollution… and all this directly affects the primary sector. As agents of change, we recognize our fundamental role in contributing to solutions for a transformation that cannot be accomplished alone.
We know that the challenge is complex. Only by understanding it in a systemic way we will be able to propose a global, effective and efficient solution.
At Verdalia we offer a circular solution
Commitment & Impact
Preserving the environment involves protecting and promoting progress in rural areas.
We are committed to preserving the essence of the local environment in which we are located. Therefore, we always design our plants seeking to minimize their visual and olfactory impact, following a strict policy when choosing their location, keeping the plants away from urban centers, farms, protected areas and natural spaces.
Become a local partner
The energy transition is a goal for all of us. The challenges are becoming greater and more complex, and European regulations are being tightened to ensure a more sustainable, efficient and modernized agriculture. Join the change, become a supplier and increase the added value of your business.
The best way to show you that our plants are sustainable, efficient and safe, with state-of-the-art infrastructures and technologies, is to invite you to visit them in person.
Over 90% of our staff are graduates and they have extensive experience working hand in hand with farmers and livestock breeders.
We have our own fleet of trucks that allows us to have total control of logistics.
We know that the primary sector is unpredictable, that is why we have opened a fast service line to give you an answer when you need it.
