Biogas – creating a clean and green energy future.

The potential of biogas is vast – it can be one of the fundamental renewable energy forces for driving the economy into a green and clean future. Green Genius aims to be part of this transformation through supporting the best biogas sector practices.

Biogas is a perfect example of the circular economy

Using waste to generate clean energy and heat, biogas processes contribute to solving the biodegradable waste problem. Odourless organic fertilizers that can be used for agriculture are created during the biogas processes as a side product. Bearing in mind the size and importance of the agricultural sector in Europe, biogas projects also help to create a better environment to support the further development of the sector. Read more

Biogas installations take in biowaste, such as plant waste (corn or grass sillage, grains and crops), food waste (from households and producers), manure from farms and sewage sludge and put it through a special fermentation process called anaerobic digestion.
Anaerobic digestion is a natural sustainable process that occurs without oxygen and during which micro-organisms break down organic matter, such as that mentioned, above into renewable energy (biogas) and high-quality fertilizers (digestate).

Biogas can generate electricity and heat. It can also be upgraded to produce sustainable gas – biomethane for injection into the gas grid. By using organic products beyond the end of their service life, biogas is the perfect example of the circular economy.

Green Genius shakes hands with Nordex Group for 11 wind turbines and starts construction of Jurbarkas wind farm in Lithuania

Renewable energy company Green Genius, developing solar, biogas, wind, and hydrogen energy projects in 8 European countries, has signed a service contract with Nordex Group for eleven wind turbines supply. Simultaneously, Green Genius starts construction of its Jurbarkas wind farm in Lithuania.  Jurbarkas wind park of 85 MW is located in South-West of Lithuania, a favorably windy area, which is nearly 50 km away from the shores of the Baltic Sea. The first phase of the construction, 63 MW, is already at its early stage. It will be provided with eleven, nearly 63 MW, of wind turbines by the Nordex Group in 2024. The rest of the 22 MW of Jurbarkas wind park is in the final development phase. It will require another five wind turbines, which provider will be selected later in the process. “Wind energy is a crucial component in a mix of renewables for a stable and effective green energy supply. Therefore, we believe another 85MW in Lithuania, will notably contribute to the sustainability and energy independence of the Baltic region. Many thanks to our international partners Nordex Group for the exceptional service”,– said Ph.D. Darius Biekša, Head of Wind and Hydrogen at Green Genius. Following the service contract, the Nordex Group also undertakes a Premium Service agreement for the maintenance of the Jurbarkas turbines for 20 years. Jurbarkas wind farm of 85MW will form appx 8,5% of the current Lithuanian wind power portfolio. It will provide green energy to the business sector operating in Lithuania, allowing it to save over 130.000 tons of CO2 yearly. To build Jurbarkas wind park in Lithuania, Green Genius will invest over €100 million. The end of construction is planned for 2025.

Eiffel Investment Group and Green Genius team up to complete 500 MW of solar in Italy Renewable energy company Green Genius and newly established fund Eiffel Transition Infrastructure, managed by Eiffel Investment Group, set up a joint venture to develop and build together 500 MW solar park portfolio in Italy. Through this joint-venture, Eiffel will invest initially up to 15M€ to support the development of this portfolio and additional funding to be dedicated for supporting the projects during the construction stage.   Setting up this new joint venture is a continuation of the relationship between Eiffel Investment Group and Green Genius, who have been partnering up since 2019 on photovoltaic projects in Poland, Italy and Spain.   Through this new transaction, Green Genius will bring 500 MW of projects in Italy (mainly Puglia and Sardinia) to the permitting phase and Eiffel will finance this critical phase to obtain the necessary permits and authorisations through equity financing. Green Genius will lead the development process until the projects are ready for construction. Construction is then planned to start by the end of 2023.   This new solution is offered by Eiffel Transition Infrastructure1, an innovative fund designed to provide equity bridge financing for renewable energy infrastructure assets in Europe and launched in 2022 by the French asset manager.  By signing this agreement Eiffel’s fund acquired a minority stake in the joint venture and will support projects development and construction. Once operational, these projects should supply enough renewable electricity for more than 90,000 households, contributing to avoid the emission of the equivalent of 330,000 CO2 tons per annum2.  “Green transformation in Europe requires significant amounts of capital in versatile forms. This innovative capital solution offered by our partner brings flexibility and opens new opportunities in a complex process of developing renewables. Italy is one of our key markets where the company has already successfully developed projects in the past ”, says Rokas Bancevičius, CFO of Green Genius.  Pierre-Antoine Machelon, head of Infrastructure at Eiffel, states: “This investment is the result of a long-standing collaboration with Green Genius with whom we are very pleased to partner on this new platform. This is the second investment in our equity strategy launched in November 2022 to accelerate the development of renewable projects in Europe through the Eiffel Transition Infrastructure fund.”  Green Horse Legal Advisory and NautaDutilh N.V. acted as legal and tax advisors to Eiffel Investment Group.   Meanwhile, Walless acted as advisors to Green Genius.  
Green Genius and Respect Energy signs 41 MW PPA in Poland Renewable energy company Green Genius, operating in 8 European markets, has signed a 41 MW PPA with Respect Energy, of which 16 MW covers a 5-year period, while the rest of 25 MW is for a 10-year. It is the second PPA deal between the two parties since October 2022.   The agreement will enter into force on April 1st, 2024. In alignment with the 5-year 16 MW contract, Green Genius will provide 18 GWh of green electricity annually. And the rest 10-year 25 MW agreement will ensure Respect Energy receives another 29 GWh yearly. Altogether, it will save ~290 000 t CO2 during the entire PPAs period.  "Long-term PPAs play a crucial role in managing future markets and their risks. Moreover, we foresee that sustainability and stability in the European markets are directly related. Therefore, we are delighted to have reached a significant milestone in developing renewables across borders", – said Povilas-Emilis Čėsna, Head of trading and Origination at Green Genius. - “These where the last PPAs in our 2023 portfolio and now we are entering construction phase in Poland. Additionally, Green Genius is working on further land acquisition for the future projects in Poland.”   "We are delighted that another PPA agreement signed with Green Genius in the recent months will not only strengthen the cooperation between our companies but - most importantly – will ensure stable energy delivery to our customers. With the limited green energy supply and the current market instability, PPA agreements are one of the cornerstones of the future green and zero-carbon economy", – says Sebastian Jabłoński, Chairman of the Board of Respect Energy Holding.      In October 2022, Green Genius and Respect Energy announced the 10-year PPA agreement, comprising 21 MW. It will supply 25 GWh of green energy annually to Respect Energy and its customers, allowing it to save the emission of more than 180 000 tonnes of CO2 during its run.
