The Argentinian biogas arrives in Europe through Dosbio, a national company that will install a pilot plant in Germany after obtaining an international patent for its biofertilizer technology.
The company transforms poultry waste into renewable energy and, with this proposal, closed its first commercial agreements in Hamburg.
Dosbio, founded in 2015 and led by its CEO Juan Khouri, develops circular economy projects that turn environmental liabilities into energy assets.
The firm already operates in different Argentine provinces such as Entre Ríos, Santa Fe, and Buenos Aires. There, it processes organic waste to produce biogas, biomethane, and biofertilizers.
Dosbio’s leap into the European market with its global patent
Verónica Tito, partner of Dosbio and Director of Legal and Corporate Affairs, explained that the company obtained a key global patent in 2024.
This gives Biogás the endorsement to use its system for the solidification of liquid effluents and their conversion into multinutrient biofertilizers worldwide.
From there arose the opportunity to create Dosbio GmbH in Germany and close the first commercial agreements to distribute the product in the European Community.
Thanks to the link with the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Argentina (AHK), the development was presented at the Euroter Energy fair.
The project includes the following production lines:
- Biogas for thermal generation
- Biomethane for injection into pipelines
- BioLNG for export
- Biofertilizers for the European market
- Green hydrogen derivatives in pilot phase
A million-dollar investment with regional expansion: the potential of Argentinian biogas
For its part, the company also continues with the expansion of Argentinian biogas throughout the country, with new agreements in different provinces.
Now, it plans to invest USD 200 million in two biogas plants strategically located near Crespo and San José, in Entre Ríos.
The project aims to achieve a production of 300,000 m³ of biomethane daily in eight years. This was launched under the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI).
“The potential for bioenergy generation in Entre Ríos is so significant that it equals in terms of gas volume to conventional fields such as Manantiales Behr in Chubut,” Khouri highlighted.
During 2024, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with Entre Ríos to collaborate on bioenergy solutions.
Additionally, it closed an agreement with the Municipality of Crespo to start up a biodigester at the beginning of 2026.
In this regard, the company highlighted that, with this agreement, “it not only incorporates technical experience and training for municipal staff but also opens the door to transforming organic waste of livestock origin into renewable energy and fertilizers useful for the soil”.
This aligns with the company’s mission “to generate a positive impact on the environment and promote solutions based on the bioeconomy”.
Decarbonization and competitiveness
“The challenge is to show the market the possibility of producing bioenergies at competitive prices, attractive to sectors that require decarbonization such as heavy transport, maritime, and large industries,” Tito noted.
The executive added that the regulatory framework for the injection of biomethane into natural gas networks is in force in the country through the NAG 602.
In this sense, Dosbio aims to be a pioneer in the deployment of these renewable energies.
In Santa Fe, the company is building a biogas thermal power plant that will serve as a platform for a pilot project of green hydrogen derivatives, linked to the internationalization of the firm.
While green hydrogen is still consolidating, biogenic derivatives already represent a commercial reality in Europe, especially in Germany, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
In light of this, Argentinian biogas seeks to position itself in that market by offering traceability solutions to verify the origin of the fuel.
