Established in 2023, Bionext Infrastructure comprises 15 operating plants located in central and northern Italy, currently producing biogas and undergoing conversion into biomethane facilities. These will be underpinned by a highly stable 15-year incentive.
The platform will significantly contribute to Italian and European biomethane production targets as well as supporting energy transition and energy security macro trends.
Vittorio Mazza, CEO & Chairman, Bionext Infrastructure, said, “This financing represents a significant milestone in the growth of our platform and further cements Bionext’s position as a leading player in Italy’s biomethane sector.”
Soti Calochristos, Senior Investment Director, Aberdeen Economic Infrastructure, said, “Our investment in Bionext underscores our long‑term commitment to the renewable energy sector, and to the rapid expansion of biomethane. We are especially proud to support a platform led by such a strong management team, and to do so alongside leading financial institutions that share our conviction in its future growth.”
Bionext Infrastructure, based in Milan, specializes in operating and transforming biogas assets into biomethane facilities, and it is part of Aberdeen's third Core Infrastructure Fund, ASCI III.
The Company was advised by SURE Advisory as financial adviser, and by Green Horse as legal adviser on the transaction, with Ashurst advising the financial institutions.
Aberdeen’s Economic Infrastructure team has successfully raised and deployed three infrastructure funds, totaling over €2.7 billion.
