NeoZeo has received funding from Rural Development Programme in Sweden.

NeoZeo has received funding for project "Fostering decentralized biomethane production at farms producing less than 300 Nm3/h of raw biogas”. The project run by Rural Development Programme (landsbygdsprogrammet ) 2014-2020 within the “Agricultural European Innovation Partnership (EIP-AGRI)”. The Programme is financed in part by funds from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. NeoZeo will form an innovative group who will explore the possibilities to upgrade raw biogas at the level of small and medium farms. The team efforts are expected to increase the production of biomethane in agriculture, and increase the overall production and sale of biofuels in Sweden!

NeoZeo is awarded Horizon 2020 Funding!

NeoZeo joins the best, most innovative European SME’s in receiving funding of € 50,000 from the Horizon 2020’s SME Instrument. Out of the total 2057 applications received by the European Commission under Phase 1 this past November, only 189 SMEs were selected to receive funds to develop a total of 174 projects, which means the success rate of the funded proposals were less than 9%!

More statistics show that from the total 1995 applications, only 47 came from Sweden, and just 3 of these received funding. Within NeoZeo’s particular research area, Innovation for low carbon energy system, only 27 received funding out of 206 applications submitted.

The Swedish Energy Agency Pre-planning Grant earlier won by NeoZeo contributed to achieving this important milestone in the company’s business development goals.

NeoZeo aims to continue to the 2nd Phase of instrument, and receive additional €2.5 million from the EU, in order to create and successfully apply the commercialization strategy that would place NeoZeo as a key innovative player in the world biomethane market. NeoZeo plans that by 2023, in 5 years after project completion, its biogas upgrading plant will yield an income of just under €20 million, and generate about 55 new jobs.

NeoZeo is a proud partner in a new ambitious project - HiGradeGas!
NeoZeo is proud to be a partner within the HiGradeGas project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark! The project received 14.8 million DKK investment from IFD, and aims to find new ways to upgrade and store biogas using highly structured materials. The main goal is to design, install and test the demonstration unit which will showcase and develop a process that ensures optimum performance of nanostructured materials. These materials represent the absorbent in the biogas upgrading process, and by optimizing their performance, small scale biogas upgrading will become economically viable. HiGradeGas is managed by Andreas Kaiser, a senior researcher from DTU Energy. Within the consortium, NeoZeo partners with Danish Power Systems, Rambøll Danmark and EngiCer, as well as research institutions such as Technical University of Denmark (DTU), University of Southern Denmark, Stockholm University, Luleå University of Technology and Sintef.

NeoZeo on the first car in Latvia to use 100% produced biomethane!

Together with researchers from Riga Technical University (RTU), NeoZeo has achieved another milestone in our work to create an innovative facility that allows upgrading biogas into biomethane, one of the greenest vehicle fuels, as well as promote and contribute to significantly reducing green gas emissions and pollution! The first car to run on 100% biomethane in Latvia already had its test drive this March. The car is powered by high value biomethane produced with NeoZeo’s biogas upgrading module “NeoBioGas-70", which is fully equipped with the necessary facilities. A complete filling of the tank with biomethane is sufficient for the car to cover approximately 250 km.

It is an exciting time for NeoZeo and we’d like to share it with you all!
With lots of valuable experience, unique R&D outcomes and successful manufacturing works, NeoZeo has finalized the construction of its first full-scale Biogas Upgrading Module. Last week, NeoZeo’s team has moved the Module to a farm which has raw biogas production station in Vecsiljani, Latvia. It is a final stage where NeoZeo’s engineers and researchers have started testing the Biogas Upgrading Module with raw biogas straight from the station. Follow our progress and stay tuned here and on www.biogas-upgrading.co.

NeoZeo has received VC investment from Imprimatur Capital Technology Venture Fund.

Riga, 7th of January, 2014. NeoZeo has received investment of €600,000 from Imprimatur Capital Technology Venture Fund in Latvia. NeoZeo develops small-scale raw biogas upgrading systems for farms and municipalities to convert raw biogas to pure biomethane for direct use as a vehicle fuel.

Renewable energy is becoming one of the fastest growing energy sources. The global raw biogas upgrading market is expected to reach $340 million by 2016 and with a compounded annual growth rate of 22%. However a major technical challenge for raw biogas upgrading is how to cost-efficiently utilize unexploited agricultural waste at the small and medium scale and turn it into pure biomethane.

NeoZeo, a spin-out from Stockholm University, has found a novel solution for solving that problem. The company has developed and patented a unique zeolite structured porous material and process for the effective separation of carbon dioxide and methane. The key commercial application is the small and medium scale upgrading or purification of raw biogas into cost-efficient green gas fuel for cars and buses. The new capital investment will finance the design, development and marketing of a commercial-scale biogas upgrading unit and enable initial sales in key target markets during 2014 and 2015.

Petr Vasiliev, Co-founder & CEO of NeoZeo stated that “The investment and Imprimatur Capital Fund Management team are essential to achieve NeoZeo’s targets to make the big step from prototype to commercial-scale to reach the biogas upgrading market and take a technological lead with our small-scale raw biogas upgrading solution for farms.”

Toby Moore, Managing Partner of Imprimatur Capital Fund Management in Latvia stated, “We have been impressed by the high technical competence of the NeoZeo team, the positive support of Stockholm University Innovation in the commercialisation of the technology and the strongly growing market in which NeoZeo operates and aims to become a leading player worldwide.”
