Andion CH4 secures €24m financing for Italian biomethane project
Posté le 3 mars 2026
Andion CH4 has finalised a €24 million project financing facility dedicated to the construction of a biomethane production plant in Mirandola, within the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The facility will process agricultural waste to produce low-carbon fuel using anaerobic digestion technology, marking a significant step in Andion’s European expansion strategy within the renewable energy sector.
The financing was structured by a banking pool consisting of BNL BNP Paribas—which acted as mandated lead arranger, original lender, and facility agent—and Mediocredito Centrale, which served as the original lender. The investment supports Andion’s industrial roadmap to establish an integrated infrastructure platform for the development, construction, and management of high-efficiency biomethane production sites.
The legal aspects of the transaction were managed by De Berti Jacchia, representing the Andion group, Biomethan Green Società Agricola S.r.l., and Airsol S.r.l. The firm’s team was led by partner Giuseppe Cristiano, supported by partners Antonella Terranova and Cristina Fussi, overseeing the credit negotiations and the drafting of all construction and operational agreements for the site.
The lending banks were assisted by Norton Rose Fulbright with a team directed by partner Arturo Sferruzza, head of the firm's banking and energy departments in Italy. The team included associates Giulio Mariano and Mattia Musella for financial profiles and senior associate Stefania Casini for administrative law matters.
ValeCap served as the exclusive financial advisor to Andion CH4, with a team led by partner Enrico Benigni and associate Vincenzo Barbaria. Additionally, the banking pool was supported by Protos for technical and commercial advisory, Marsh for insurance profiles, and KPMG for the model audit process.
