About Bionovus
The Bionovus company was founded in 2006, after merging biofuel production and waste processing plants operating in different regions of Lithuania: Aviridis, Medvija and Skiedrynė. The company's subsidiary owns Biovtorresurs, a Gomel based company (Belarus).
Currently, there are about 80 employees in Bionovus. The Bionovus central headquarters are located in the capital city of Vilnius, and the company operates branches in three more cities of the country.
Successful financial results of the Bionovus Group of companies are determined by active investment in the development of biofuel production base and resources; a diversity of services also contributes to the company's success. Bionovus constantly updates and modernizes its technical facilities which allow collecting and preparing for use more raw materials for biofuel, increasing recycled waste volumes and improving the quality of secondary products.
Operational perspectives
Many of the leading European countries have increasingly begun to use their own energy resources – biofuels – for the production of renewable energy. Thus, they not only increase their energy independence, but also support the country's businesses and economy. Currently, the Lithuanian market of biofuel production and use is deservedly called one of the most developing economies, to which the country's power industry future is related.
At present, biofuel in Lithuania contributes to about 18,1 percent of the district heating energy, and in the future this volume will certainly grow. In accordance with the recommendations of the European Union and the National Energy Strategy, the applications of biofuel in the Lithuanian power industry will more than double by 2020. Currently, the network of boiler plants fuelled with biofuels is being actively developed: at the moment there are more than 200 of such boiler plants, and their total capacity is 610 MW.
Lithuania has large biofuel reserves but until today, they have not been utilised properly. Their assimilation needs the active involvement of all participants of the biofuel market – land and forest owners, producers and power engineers – and their collaboration.
Bionovus is an active member of Lithuanian biomass energy association LITBIOMA . It often initiates various types of projects in the areas of biofuel production, harvesting and production, and offers long-lasting cooperation agreements not only for the operators of the country but also in neighboring countries. The company also actively contributes to the development of the local renewable fuel market.
