VBM, a Texas-based landfill-gas-to-energy company, boasts a leadership team with over 100 years of collective experience in designing, building, and operating gas collection systems, natural gas treatment plants, and pipeline interconnects across the landfill gas and traditional natural gas sectors. With four renewable natural gas sites situated in Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas, VBM is actively developing multiple other sites across the U.S.
Landfill gas serves as a crucial source of renewable energy, playing a pivotal role in mitigating climate change by reducing methane emissions. Moreover, it offers transformative benefits to local communities, including revenue generation from RNG sales, environmental advantages, and job creation at its facilities.
Mike Noack, VBM’s CEO, emphasized the dual benefits of landfill methane utilization, stating, “Utilizing landfill methane not only mitigates climate change through methane emission reduction but also provides economic benefits for the local community.”
He further added, “We believe the combination of VBM’s operational and development teams, along with Vitol’s marketing and trading expertise, as well as its financial strength, creates the industry’s strongest and most experienced landfill-gas-to-energy company.”
Steve Barth, senior business developer, renewables at Vitol, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am delighted to announce the acquisition of Vitol BioMethane. This represents a compelling and unique opportunity for Vitol to expand its presence in the RNG industry, leveraging decades of natural gas treatment experience by the VBM team and harnessing Vitol’s unparalleled trading acumen.”
Established in 2021, VBM’s predecessor company, BioMethane Partners, was acquired by Vitol in September 2023
