Vertus Energy, a Waste-to-X industrial biotech startup, has secured an impressive €8.75 million in seed funding to propel their innovative BRIO technology into the forefront of the renewable energy industry. The funding, led by Energy Capital Ventures and supported by Blackbird, the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund, and Aussie Angels, will drive the adoption of BRIO in commercial units across various applications, revolutionizing the way we view waste as a valuable resource.

BRIO, Vertus Energy's flagship product, is a game-changer in the field of biogas technology. By controlling bacteria behavior within anaerobic digestion plants, BRIO can generate biomethane up to 3 times faster and increase energy production by up to 60% from the same amount of waste. This cutting-edge technology not only boosts energy efficiency but also contributes to the sustainability goals of Europe and beyond.

Co-founder and COO, Benjamin Howard, expressed Vertus Energy's commitment to improving access to sustainable energy and helping Europe achieve its renewable energy objectives. With the support of global investors, Vertus Energy is poised to make a significant impact on the energy landscape, driving towards a future of energy justice for all.

The strategic move of establishing their regional HQ in Vienna, Austria, positions Vertus Energy to expand their influence across Europe and the UK, where biomethane production is on the rise. With a focus on delivering projects and implementing a global commercialization strategy, Vertus Energy is set to lead the charge in the biogas market's growth.

As the biogas market continues to expand, with Europe playing a key role in setting biomethane production targets, Vertus Energy's innovative approach and solid scientific foundation have garnered the support of investors like Energy Capital Ventures and the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund. Their dedication to deep-tech innovation and sustainability aligns perfectly with the mission of supporting companies driving positive change in the renewable energy sector.

With the new funding in place, Vertus Energy is poised to accelerate the adoption of BRIO technology, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient waste-to-X biotech solutions. As they continue to push the boundaries of innovation and sustainability, Vertus Energy stands at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution, shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
