Seeking development finance and strategic capital for African biorefineries
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.
Our immediate priority is funding the development work needed to advance the first project in West Africa.
We seek development-finance institutions, project-preparation facilities, grant providers, strategic investors and corporate partners interested in staged funding against defined deliverables and decision gates.
We also welcome OEM-backed financing and introductions to export-credit and equipment-finance partners for subsequent delivery stages.
With 15 sites identified across Africa and a programme ambition covering all 54 countries, the opportunity starts with West Africa and offers potential participation in future developments.
Meet Grüner in Hamburg to discuss funding fit, eligibility, required evidence and a practical route to engagement.
