Arundo BioEnergy
We envision a clean and sustainable environment for our current community and the future generations alike. With the utilisation of marginal lands and creating energy plantations, Arundo is the solution to provide biomass for the bioenergy sector. We aspire to become the number one supplier of Arundo plantlets for the renewable energy solutions on a global scale. Environmental protection is at the heart of our activity and we are committed to the principles of sustainable development. Let’s work together for both our Earth and energy independence.

Arundo BioEnergy
- We are a biotechnology company using worldwide patented, state of the art micro-propagation technology, enabling us to produce genetically stable, high quality, virus free Arundo plantlet on an industrial scale.
- We have different ecotypes of Arundo suitable for a wide range of climate conditions like continental, mediterranean, subtropical, tropical, semi-arid, etc.
- We are an innovative company, putting a lot of focus and energy on research to develop new ecotypes acclimatised to different conditions.
- We have dedicated staff to provide professional support to our customers.
Mission Statement
Endorse integrity based corporate culture and workplace conditions that create an atmosphere that encourages creativity, continuous improvement and innovation, as well as and personal development individually and as a team.
Our Technology
One of a kind
Our micropropagation technology is unique, peerless, state of the art technology based on sustainable embryogenetic and somatogenetic tissue culture. From this, we are able to develop virus free, genetically stable, vigorous, homogenous bare root plantlets on an industrial scale. We guarantee an excellent production standard.
Well protected and developed
Our micropropagation technology is worldwide patented, owned by the University of South Carolina and our company group has the sole license to use and utilise the micropropagation technology of Arundo. As we encourage continuous improvement and development, we never stop advancing our technology.
Supporting until the end
Based on request we provide Acclimatization technology and Plantation Management technology descriptions as well. These technologies can be further supported with on-site consultancy, which depends on the ordered quantity or may be provided on request. Once the project comes to an end, we have agrotechnology available for termination of the plantation.
Why Choose ARUNDO For Biomass Production?
Excellent Source of Renewable Energy
Energy content of 18 MJ/kg is identical to hard wood; whilst its cellulose content allows for 10x more litres/hectare bioethanol output and 1.5x more biogas than corn with 50% fewer costs
Grows fast, high yield biomass
it has outstanding growth rates of 4-6 metres after the third year, with a potential of producing 50-80 dry tonnes of biomass per year per hectare
Soil treatment, phytoremediation abilities
it cleans and cures contaminated, toxic land through phytoremediation; prevents soil erosion; Does not rob soil of the nutrients as only empty cell wall mass is harvested at the end of the growing season; microbes on its root system fixes the nitrogen content of the air; whilst providing an excellent source of biomass as a by-product
No biohazard risks
not invasive, as it has no fertile seeds and aggressively growing root system; no pollen therefore there are no allergen impacts; no GMO meaning there are no ethical risks. In addition, there are no environmental risks for international markets: the propagation material is virus, pests and pathogen free
Low maintenance, low cost, low input cultivation plant for biomass production
As a perennial plant that lives for 25-30 years and can be harvested yearly, you don’t need to spend money on yearly soil preparation and repurchase of the plantlet. Moreover, you can utilise regular agro-technology for planting and harvesting.
No net CO2 emission
turning Arundo into energy through combustion establishes a closed-loop carbon cycle, as it sequesters more carbon than what it emits during the processing period
Requires no chemical treatment
outgrows weeds, no herbicide treatment required, whilst It has no specific diseases and pests therefore you don’t need any further expensive chemical treatment
