Partner with Grüner to build own and operate cascade biorefineries across Africa
Managing Director at Grüner Bioeconomy
Cape Town, South Africa
About
Grüner is developing integrated cascade biorefineries that convert agricultural biomass into renewable fuels, fertilisers, biobased chemicals and materials, recovering value across connected processes.
We have identified 15 sites across Africa, with the first project under development in West Africa. These projects form Integrated Biocircular Networks Africa (IBNA), our programme with a long-term roll-out covering all 54 African countries.
We seek OEMs, technology licensors, engineering companies and specialist delivery partners who can contribute proven technologies and take clear responsibility for their packages.
The opportunity is to help establish the first facility’s technology and delivery arrangements, with potential participation in subsequent projects.
Bring your operating references, integration capabilities and approach to commissioning, training and long-term support in Africa. Meet us in Hamburg to identify your role and agree the next step.
We also seek development-finance and strategic capital partners, alongside bunkering, storage, distribution and logistics partners who can help move the first project from development into delivery and connect its products with customers.
