VERBIO's Iowa RNG Facility a 'Game Changer' for US Biofuels Industry
At ceremonies held at its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility in Nevada, Iowa, Claus Sauter, VERBIO AG's Founder and CEO, stated, “This plant is a game changer. With the right biofuels policies in place, we believe Iowa and the U.S. have immense potential and we are committed to working with those of you in this audience and others to create conditions where we can grow and everyone benefits.”
The VERBIO Nevada Biorefinery began producing RNG on an industrial scale in December 2021. The facility is on track to achieve full scale production of 7 million ethanol gallons equivalent (EGE) of RNG annually by mid-summer 2022. In early 2023, the site will begin operating as a biorefinery, producing 19 million EGE of RNG and 60 million gallons of corn-based ethanol, annually. The integration of RNG and ethanol production, unique to VERBIO, incorporates advanced operational technology to build on the company's successful experiences in Europe.
