BioCirc
BioCirc is a Danish circular bioeconomy company focused on accelerating the green transition through large-scale CO₂ reduction and renewable energy production. As one of the world’s largest biomethane producers, BioCirc develops and operates integrated energy clusters that combine renewable energy generation, carbon capture and sustainable fuel production. Through these initiatives, the company contributes to increased energy security and the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors.
RECLAIM Project – Europe’s First Fully Integrated Biocircular Energy Cluster
To support the transition towards a climate-neutral economy, BioCirc is developing the RECLAIM project in Denmark. The project aims to demonstrate how renewable energy, circular resource utilisation and sustainable fuel production can be integrated within a single energy ecosystem.
The heart of RECLAIM is the development of Europe’s first fully integrated biocircular renewable energy cluster. The project combines a green methanol production facility, a state-of-the-art electrolyser for renewable hydrogen production, onshore wind turbines and an upgraded biogas plant optimised for locally sourced agricultural residues. By connecting these technologies, RECLAIM creates a circular system that maximises resource efficiency, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports the production of sustainable fuels for industry and transport.
The project is expected to deliver annual CO₂ emission reductions of approximately 70,000 tonnes while strengthening regional energy security, creating employment opportunities and supporting local and national climate ambitions.
Successful Collaboration with Hezelburcht
To support the development of RECLAIM, BioCirc worked together with Hezelburcht on an application for the European Innovation Fund, one of Europe’s largest funding programmes for innovative low-carbon technologies.
Hezelburcht supported BioCirc throughout the application process, helping to position the project within the objectives of the Innovation Fund and demonstrating its potential contribution to Europe’s climate and energy goals. By combining BioCirc’s technical expertise with Hezelburcht’s extensive experience in European funding programmes, a strong and competitive proposal was developed.
The collaboration contributed to advancing a pioneering project that demonstrates how integrated energy clusters can accelerate the production of renewable fuels, reduce industrial emissions and support the transition towards a circular and climate-neutral European economy.
