The mission of agriportance is to drive the energy transition by promoting biomethane as a renewable energy source. The company relies on a combination of agricultural expertise and digital business models to optimize and simplify processes for producers and consumers.
agriportance stands for fairness, transparency, and efficiency. By digitizing processes, transaction costs can be minimized, and the cash flows of all parties involved can be presented transparently[3][4].
A central goal of agriportance is the decarbonization of the energy sector through the use of biomethane. The company supports biogas plants in producing biomethane as a green natural gas alternative and feeding it into the natural gas grid. This leads to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions; for example, a long-term supply agreement has achieved an annual CO2 saving of six to seven million kilograms[3][5].
agriportance aims to automate the processes involved in the certification of biomethane and strengthen the European biomethane market. With the support of investors such as the High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and other business angels, the company is working on scaling its solutions and international expansion[5].
agriportance recently won the Biogas Problem-Solver Award at the European Biogas Association Conference 2024, highlighting the innovation and effectiveness of its software solutions. The company is also actively involved in various industry events and conferences to further disseminate knowledge and best practices in the field of biomethane[3][5].
With a rapidly growing team and a clear vision for the future, agriportance is setting standards in the sustainable energy sector and actively contributing to the energy transition.
