Vertus Energy is an industrial biotechnology company based in Vienna, Austria, focused on the Waste-to-X sector. Its flagship product, BRIO, is a modular hardware retrofit that controls bacterial behaviour within anaerobic digestion plants to generate more energy and improve biomethane economics. The company intends to deploy BRIO across a range of commercial applications, from full-scale wastewater treatment plants to large-scale biogas plants. Vertus says the technology will help make biomethane more economically viable and accessible, contributing to EU renewable energy targets. The team includes co‑founders CTO Dr. Danilo Perez, Chief Engineer Freddy Gonzalez, COO Benjamin Howard, and CCO Santiago de los Reyes. The company plans to use the newly raised funds to accelerate BRIO adoption in commercial units across these applications.
