Acorn Bioenergy
Acorn Bioenergy is committed to decarbonising challenging sectors by unlocking the full potential of biomethane and green CO2 production in the UK. We plan to make an immediate impact by reducing transport, industry and agriculture CO2 emissions from 2024. Our projects will also support sustainable farming, giving farmers an additional revenue stream and access to valuable organic biofertilizer. By producing homegrown biogas, we can make the UK more resilient to international supply problems. We are a developer of anaerobic digestion sites and expect to become one of the leading biomethane and green CO2 producers in the UK. Our team of experienced professionals from the energy, engineering, and agricultural sectors take responsibility for the full scope of the project from development through to construction and operations. Acorn Bioenergy was acquired by a leading fund manager, Qualitas Energy, in September 2022 who are eager to accelerate the energy transition with renewable energy investments.
