Mission Vision

Biondoil; where we stand for...
NO FOSSIL MINERALS NO WASTE NO LIMITS
We will make it happen!

It started with a shared concern about how we consume this planet, "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children".
We brought together our mutual skills and drive to figure out solutions which will tackle global warming, unnecessary waste of non-replaceable fossil minerals, CO2 and Nitrogen emissions and a lot more. Not as a dot on the horizon but within grasp 2 years from now for our first business initiative. Interested? Start reading!

"Creating a humane society through partnerships,
technologies and inclusion"

Who we are and what we do

Biondoil is the leading project development company for the build and operation of biobased refineries producing biobased chemicals and advanced biofuels for the automotive and aviation markets. We employ state-of-the-art technologies and integrate them into full scale biobased production facilities with an emphasis on sustainability, economics, flexibility and innovation.

We use waste biobased feedstock as our primary input for the entire production cycle. We fully understand the urgency to act on climate change. In doing so we have created partnerships across the entire value chain. We are fueling the established industry with the products they need to change their product mix toward circular and biobased. We are the driving force in manufacturing and technology acceleration that paves the road toward a circular (biobased) economy.

We are committed to align our business goals with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We strive to contribute to all of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, but our main focus will be on the subgoals as defined under the numbers 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 17.






CBBD netwerkbijeenkomst Bioraffinage - July 6, 2021

350 million Euro investment for innovative Dutch biorefinery in Port of Antwerp.

September 22, 2021

Biondoil Global Investments and NEOS Impact have joined forces to secure a EUR 350 million investment for the realization of a first 2nd generation biorefinery in the Port of Antwerp. At the NextGen District we will be a main player to fulfil the sustainability goals of the Port of Antwerp.

The Biondoil biorefineries produce climate friendly solutions for road transport, marine fuels and coatings, aviation fuels and sustainable chemicals in order to reach climate goals within the short and mid-term. This port of Antwerp refinery alone produces 80,000 tons of biofuels and 20,000 tons of biochemicals reducing carbon emissions by over 87% compared to fossil counterparts, which is the equivalent of the average use of over 587 thousand cars (15.000 km per car per year) or 822.5 million airplane miles per year.

In addition to the Port of Antwerp refinery, we will be working closely with our renowned industry partners on the roll-out of biorefineries including the Ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, La Coruña Spain, Perth Australia and Hamburg/Wilhelmshaven Germany.

The Biondoil business story; mission & vision in a nutshell

The core values of the BIONDOIL philosophy:
We want to be a stepping stone towards a better world by creating sustainable solutions for fundamental human needs such as clean drinking water, renewable energy and related values such as respect for nature and biodiversity.

We can’t cover everything. Our added value is our expertise in next generation development of sustainable renewable biofuels and chemicals to provide climate friendly energy solutions and living conditions for all. We focus on non-disruptive short to midterm circular processes to (help to) create these solutions.

Co-creation and co-production are essential to reach these goals. We need to be innovative, parties with different backgrounds need to share their knowledge to make it happen. We firmly believe in creating win-win solutions for the benefit of all.

Climate change and valuable living conditions for everyone are our primary drivers.
“Climate change is apparent and inspires us morally to change the way we use natural resources and to find sustainable alternatives. Today’s challenge for tomorrow is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced to halt climate change ….”.
