Go green with Apeiron Bioenergy! This Singapore-based startup collects food and agricultural waste and refines them into raw materials that can be converted to clean biofuel.

• Launched in 2007, they operate refineries and collection points in 10 Asian countries.

🐷 Let’s get cooking

Apeiron collects waste like used cooking oils (UCO) and turns them into biofuel feedstocks—or raw materials for composting!

• They refine raw UCO to meet commodity-grade standards before using it as feedstocks to produce biofuel.
• UCO offers the highest greenhouse gas emissions savings, so its a great biomass resource. 

It’s clean. Their refined UCO product is certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification.

🛢️ Is that oil? 

Apeiron’s funding is the first ever bioenergy-focused SGD bond issuance in Asia. 

• They’ve supplied over 600 million liters of UCO since 2017. 
• Scoop: UCOs are major feedstocks for biodiesel products like sustainable aviation fuel.

🪔 What the future holds? 

They’ll use the $$$ toward capital expenditure and asset improvement for collection points and pre-treatment facilities in the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
