As part of the Desafía AgTech Germany program, Veterinary Europe Holder by WorldPathol introduces its work at the intersection of biotechnology, animal health, and circular farm systems. The program supports selected Spanish AgTech startups with access to German's AgTech ecosystem. In this interview, WorldPathol outlines how its integrated approach strengthens animal health, reduces environmental impact, and builds more resilient protein supply chains.

Can you explain, in simple terms, what you actually do and how biotechnology, animal health, and environmental management come together in one system?

What is Bio-LNG? 

Bio-LNG, also known as liquefied biogas or liquefied biomethane, Is a renewable fuel that currently serves as one of the most economical and cleanest options in the transport sector. Produced from organic residuals, its specific niche is decarbonising sectors where electrification is difficult: for example, long-distance or heavy goods transport and shipping, among other energy intensive industries.

This year RootCamp will support the Desafía AgTech Germany program. Desafía is an intensive market entry and networking program aimed at promising Spanish AgriTech startups. The goal of the program is to provide participants with a deep understanding of the German market and to connect them directly with partners, companies, and investors.

With Batch #7, the RootCamp innovation hub from Hannover is starting a new round, welcoming six promising startups into its accelerator program. Over the coming months, the selected teams from Germany, Serbia, Latvia, Belgium, and France will receive targeted support to further develop their technologies, gain access to expertise and investors, and seize the opportunity for pilot projects with industry partners.

In 2021, bioenergy accounted for 59% of the total renewable energy consumption in the EU, and therefore around 13% of total energy consumption - a significant chunk in both cases. Specifically in the transport sector, biofuel consumption increased by 39% between 2013 and 2021. So, considering the widespread and increasing use, why hasn’t energy derived from biomass replaced energy from fossil fuels yet? Among other growing pains, there is an ongoing question about land use, often called the ‘food vs fuel debate’. Should we be dedicating arable land to growth of energy crops, when this limits the land available for food crops?
