Description

Genesis Biopartner collects organic waste and converts it into biogas, green energy and fertiliser.

Initially, it mainly used energetic plants from local agriculture, but soon this became a challenge that required processing optimisation. They now use organic waste (food waste and organic matter) from catering facilities, the agrifood industry and retail across Romania as an input, processing it in their biogas plants.

The company sees biodegradable waste as a resource: it collects this type of waste from companies to use in its own plants. It also helps its clients to meet their sustainability objectives and work towards zero waste strategies, and is authorised to sell the green energy it produces.

In May 2025, it began work on a project funded by Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan focusing on creating infrastructure for producing renewable energy from biogas generated using farmyard waste. The project involves setting up a biogas plant in Drăgoești and will use organic waste from farms to produce biogas and fertiliser. The fertiliser will be the result of combining liquid and solid organic waste and unused animal feed and processing them in the biogas plant. The project will run until July 2026.   

Main results

Every year, Genesis Biopartner recycles 90 000 tonnes of biomass, produces 40 000 MWh of electricity (enough for 14 000 households) and 16 million m3 of biogas, and saves 67 000 tonnes of CO2
