CVC DIF, the infrastructure strategy of leading global private markets manager CVC, is pleased to announce that a fund managed by CVC DIF will acquire 100% of OMR Moerdijk B.V. (“OMR”) from Perpetual Next Conversions. OMR processes food waste into biogas using anaerobic digestion facilities in Moerdijk, the Netherlands.
Operational since 2005 in Moerdijk, OMR processes food waste which the facility turns into biogas through anaerobic digestion and subsequently uses biogas to produce power and heat, via combined heat-and-power turbines. In 2024, OMR processed approximately 50,000 tonnes of food waste feedstock, producing roughly 19 GWh of electricity. A biogas upgrader is currently in the process of installation and will convert the produced raw biogas to high-value biomethane. The ongoing upgrade will reduce emissions and further strengthen OMR’s contribution to the Dutch energy transition.
Rene Buwalda, CEO of Perpetual Next Group: ‘’We are pleased to announce the transfer of this outstanding waste-to-biogas facility into the capable hands of CVC DIF. The active involvement of leading institutional investors in this vital sector is a highly encouraging development, as it demonstrates a strong commitment to driving forward the energy and materials transition.’’
Gijs Voskuyl, Managing Partner of CVC DIF commented: “OMR Moerdijk’s impressive track record and diverse business model make it a valuable addition to the assets managed by CVC DIF. With the development of the biogas upgrader now completed by Perpetual Next, this is a great moment for us to invest in OMR and drive continued growth of the business. While OMR stands to benefit from increasingly strong regulatory support for biomethane production, it also significantly contributes to the Dutch energy transition by converting low-value waste into energy.”
