Vertoro B.V.

Vertoro B.V. is a Dutch cleantech company founded in 2017, focused on providing sustainable alternatives to fossil resources.

The company produces Goldilocks®, a 100% bio-based platform product derived from lignin found in woody and agricultural residues. This innovative product aims to replace fossil crude oil as a feedstock for materials, chemicals, and fuels, helping industries reduce their carbon footprint. The company operates in the energy production, biotechnology, and chemicals sectors, utilizing a patented, low-pressure, and low-temperature thermochemical process to convert biogenic residues into stable lignin oligomers. Vertoro's primary product, Goldilocks®, includes Crude Lignin Oil (CLO) and Crude Sugar Oil (CSO), which can be used as sustainable marine fuel or refined into sustainable aviation fuel, road fuels, and bio-based chemicals. With a demonstration plant in Geleen, Vertoro is preparing for commercial deployment through a licensing model, targeting industrial clients in the maritime, chemical, energy, and logistics sectors.
