German biofuels producer Verbio SE is seeking to export renewable natural gas (RNG) from the United States as it looks to expand its North American production and partnerships with Gulf Coast LNG exporters.

Verbio North American LLC, a unit of one of Europe’s largest agricultural waste processors, has asked the Department of Energy (DOE) for permission to export up to 51.75 Bcf/year of liquefied natural gas to free trade agreement (FTA) and non-FTA countries.

“Verbio plans to inject its RNG from all applicable sources into the integrated natural gas pipeline grid where it will be commingled with other natural gas for transportation to, and liquefaction by, LNG facilities located on the U.S. Gulf Coast,” Verbio’s counsel wrote in its application.
