Its role Investor / Financier
SARIA SE & Co. KG is a Germany-based international group that recovers and refines animal by‑products and other organic residues into materials and ingredients for food, feed, pet food, pharmaceutical, and energy markets. Part of the RETHMANN Group, SARIA operates across Europe and beyond through brands such as Rendac, ReFood, Bioceval, Van Hessen, and ecoMotion.
For the chemical and energy sectors, SARIA supplies rendered animal fats and other bio-based feedstocks used in oleochemicals, soaps, lubricants, and as inputs for renewable fuels. Through ecoMotion, the company produces biodiesel (FAME) and related co-products such as crude glycerine. Its activities also include collection and processing of food waste for biogas, as well as provision of selected pharmaceutical-grade raw materials via Van Hessen. The group’s operations link waste collection, processing, and conversion, providing circular feedstock solutions to downstream chemical and bioenergy value chains.
chemXplore tracks 1 project involving SARIA, of which one is active.
Grandpuits site doubles SAF capacity to 285,000 tons and adds an 80 GWh biomethane unit, maintaining 250 jobs. Bioplastic project with Corbion discontinued.
The Grandpuits site will convert biomass to biofuels, produce bioplastics, recycle plastic waste, and generate solar power, aiming for net-zero emissions and no layoffs by 2024.
The agreement secures feedstock supply for SAF production at Grandpuits, boosting capacity by 25%. The project aligns with TotalEnergies' net-zero goals and awaits regulatory approval.
Grandpuits will convert biomass to biofuels, produce PLA bioplastics, recycle plastic waste, and build solar plants, creating jobs and supporting carbon neutrality goals.
The Grandpuits refinery will cease crude oil refining by 2021, shifting to renewable diesel, bioplastics, plastics recycling, and solar power by 2024, creating 1,000 construction jobs and maintaining 250 positions.
