About Verbio

We combine global growth with commercial success. For us, climate protection is an expression of social responsibility. At the same time, we contribute to security of supply by converting locally available biomass in our innovative biorefineries into renewable energy sources and bio-based chemicals. 

We make more from biomass: We turn sustainable biomass into green molecules for a wide range of applications, such as mobility, chemistry, other industries, and agriculture. Our innovative biorefinery concept, which is characterized by multiple use of the input raw materials and a system of closed cycles, increases energy and CO₂ efficiency and improves land efficiency in agriculture.
