Moravčević Vojnović and partners in cooperation with Schoenherr advised OTP Group members, OTP Bank Plc Hungary and OTP Bank Serbia, in a biogas project finance transaction.
The financing will be used by three special-purpose vehicles (SPVs) that acted as borrowers to develop six biogas power plants in Serbia. The project’s sponsor, Pannonia Bio, is among the largest biorefinery operators in Europe.
Biogas power plants utilise a wide variety of feedstock, such as agricultural residues and biogenic waste, to produce biogas. This biogas is then efficiently converted into heat and electricity, enabling the plants to contribute to waste reduction and generate clean, renewable energy.
