For producers and suppliers

Turn a by-product you struggle to place into a feedstock someone wants.

Many production processes leave a stream behind that is too good to throw away and too awkward to sell. For a biogas plant that same stream can be valuable energy. I find out whether that applies to yours.

Offer a residual stream

Streams that often fit

  • Crude glycerine and glycerine-rich phases from biodiesel or oleochemicals
  • Soapstock, acid oils, gums and fatty residues from oil refining
  • Off-spec vegetable oils and fats
  • Molasses, syrups, sugar solutions and starch-rich liquids
  • Vinasse and other fermentation residues from yeast, ethanol or sugar production
  • Off-spec or expired food and drink, liquid or solid

Why talk to a broker instead of your local outlet

Your current outlet may pay little, or you may even pay to get rid of the material. Dutch biogas plants run on a mix of feedstocks and actively look for energy-rich additions. That creates a market a local buyer may not offer.

I do the matching, the checking and the coordination. You keep control: I do not share your company name with a plant until you are happy with that.

What happens after you get in touch

  1. First reply

    I read what you send and come back with questions or a first view, usually within one working day.

  2. Assessment

    We look at the analysis together. If none is available, we discuss whether a lab test makes sense.

  3. Offer from the market

    I present the stream anonymously to suitable plants and come back with interest and a price indication.

  4. Agreement and logistics

    Once both sides agree, contracts, documents and transport are arranged. I stay involved until the material is delivered.

Helpful to have ready

  • Product name and the process it comes from
  • Analysis: dry matter, organic matter, fat, glycerol, ash and salts, nitrogen, sulphur, chloride, pH
  • Volume per month or per year, and whether it is continuous or seasonal
  • Loading location and loading options: road tanker, IBC or rail
  • Legal status: product, by-product or waste, and the EWC code if it is a waste
  • Certification such as ISCC, and whether any animal-derived material is involved

Missing some of this? Send what you have. A clear description is a perfectly good start.
