Verbio to Open Straw Biomethane Plants in India, US This Year
Verbio will open two straw biomethane plants in India and the US this year.
In a statement released on 29 January discussing the company’s 2019/2020 financial year results, Verbio said the market conditions for its expansion projects in Asia and North America are “extremely positive”, and revealed the new facilities will open this autumn.
Claus Sauter, CEO of Verbio, said: “On the one hand, the Indian Government is promoting the expansion of gas mobility as a cheap alternative to expensive fossil fuels in the country. On the other hand, it urgently needs and wants to contain the problem of massive air pollution caused by the large-scale burning of waste straw in the fields. Our straw biomethane technology is so far the only concrete answer to both challenges.”
