Trovant

We are stakeholders in this Spanish startup that was also supported by our Entrepreneurs Fund. It works with a new technology called NIDUP for the production of biomethane from various types of organic waste, such as surplus slurry, municipal solid waste, and sewage sludge. It's an excellent application of circular economy that will contribute to decarbonization through the delocalized, small-scale production and distribution of renewable biomethane, which serves as an option for rural and under-industrialized areas.
