BALANCE Erneuerbare Energien GmbH

BALANCE Erneuerbare Energien GmbH, founded in December 2006, is a 100% subsidiary of VNG AG. The company focuses on comprehensive professional project development and participation in biogas and bio-natural gas projects. With currently 41 plants in northern and eastern Germany, BALANCE is one of the leading biogas plant operators in Germany[4][5].

BALANCE generates renewable energy in the form of:

• Biomethane: Produced from energy crops and residual materials, it serves as green energy for industry, transportation, as well as for electricity and heat production.
• Green Electricity: By using biogas in combined heat and power plants (CHP), weather-independent electricity is generated.
• Renewable Heat/Cooling: The heat generated from biogas combustion is used for heating residential and commercial buildings.
• Biological Fertilizer: The fertilizer "SNÄGG" made from the by-products of biogas production is used for agricultural and private purposes[4][5].

The mission of BALANCE is to provide people with healthy, renewable energy and to make a significant contribution to the energy transition. The company's values are based on sustainability, regionality, reliability, agility, loyalty, and integrity. BALANCE believes that the generation and supply of healthy energy positively impact both people and the environment[4].

BALANCE is committed to a conscious use of resources and utilizes regional biomass such as residual materials and energy crops to increase the diversity of agricultural land. By generating biogas, the company replaces fossil fuels, thereby avoiding around 20 million tons of CO2 equivalent per year. The residual materials after production are reused on-site as fertilizer, promoting regional value creation. The company is also engaged in local communities and advocates for political attention and appropriate framework conditions to fully exploit the potential of biogas[4].

BALANCE supports local agriculture by having local farmers supply the plants with biomass. The company is active in the municipalities and communities around its locations and maintains binding and honest relationships. Through short decision-making processes and high adaptability, BALANCE works daily on new ideas to become even greener and more efficient[4].

With its commitment and innovative products, BALANCE makes a significant contribution to sustainable energy management and the achievement of climate goals.
