ACQUISITION IN GERMANY

Evergaz in Belgium

Partnership with Meridiam
Evergaz continues to develop in Europe by investing in two anaerobic digestion units in Belgium: AM Power (44%) in Egem and Bio NRGY (44%) in Aalter. These two plants are a joint venture with Stefaan Delabie, a biogas pioneer in Belgium.
In keeping with their development in Germany in 2017, their partnership with SICAE-Oise to develop anaerobic digestion in the Oise, Somme and Aisne departments in February, and after the Meridiam investment fund acquired an interest in Evergaz in April, this Belgian transaction confirms Evergaz’s strong ambition while reinforcing their status as French and European expert in biogas.
With a capacity of 7.5MWel. and the ability to treat 180,000 metric tonnes of waste per year, AM Power is one of Europe’s largest sites. The unit was developed and started up in 2012 by Stefaan Delabie. It treats a broad range of waste and by-products, essentially livestock manure and waste from agri-food industries, and supplies power to more than 11,000 people. Dry digestate is sold as natural fertiliser.
In operation since 2012, BioNRGY, initially owned by Eneco (a Dutch company specialising in green energy production), was taken over by Stefaan Delabie in 2014. The unit treats manure, slurry, by-products, glycerin, etc., with a treatment capacity of 60,000 metric tonnes per year, and biogas recovery in a 2.9MWel cogeneration unit.
The partnership between Evergaz and Stefaan Delabie was established based on an innovative industrial digestate treatment project, developed and tested by Stefaan Delabie for 5 years.
Partnership with Meridiam
French and European biogas specialist, Evergaz, strengthens its capital and infrastructure platform with Meridiam Transition, a fund dedicated to the ecological transition in European infrastructures.This transaction will enhance Evergaz’s development and investment capacity, as they intend to own and operate, in partnership with territorial stakeholders (farmers, public authorities, industrial companies, etc.), thirty biogas plants in Europe by 2020.
