In Italy, PATRIZIA, an investment manager in global real assets, through its portfolio company Renergia S.p.A. has secured over EUR 70 million in new senior debt financing from UniCredit to accelerate the next phase of growth in Italy’s biomethane and bio-LNG sector.
The transaction establishes a flexible, long-term capital structure to support both the conversion of existing biogas plants to biomethane production and select acquisitions to expand Renergia’s integrated renewable fuels network. Once complete, the programme will enable Renergia to produce around 130 GWh of biomethane annually from approximately 230,000 tons of bio-waste and agricultural feedstock, thus strengthening its position as one of Italy’s leading circular-economy energy platforms.
The project financing was arranged and structured by UniCredit, acting as global coordinator, mandated lead arranger, bookrunner and sustainability coordinator, and supports PATRIZIA’s broader strategy to scale mid-market infrastructure platforms that advance the energy transition and resource efficiency across Europe.
This transaction marks another milestone in PATRIZIA’s mid-market buy-and-build strategy, focused for nearly a decade on developing leading European platforms across the circular economy, including SAREN Energy, Ecotermica Servizi, Renergia, Greenthesis and Statkraft Varme. Together, these businesses manage close to 2.0 million tons of material annually, recovering valuable resources for circular economy applications and energy for heating and renewable fuel production.
