Arevo Secures Funding to Accelerate Sustainable Fertiliser Production
Arevo announced the successful completion of a €7.3 million financing round to expand its bio-based fertiliser operations and transition from pilot to industrial-scale production. The funding will help the company increase capacity, optimize its production processes, and advance international market entry.
Existing investors—Industrifonden, Fort Knox Förvaring AB, Navigare Ventures, and Stora Enso—renewed their commitment, reflecting confidence in Arevo’s progress and growing relevance in sustainable agriculture.
Arevo: Developing a Low-Emission Fertiliser Alternative
Arevo’s arginine phosphate fertiliser offers a bio-based alternative to conventional nitrogen fertilisers, which account for about 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions—nearly twice that of aviation. The company’s product helps retain nutrients in the soil, minimizes nitrogen runoff, and reduces environmental impact, addressing key challenges in both productivity and sustainability.
The technology supports farmers in improving yields while reducing dependency on fossil fuel–derived fertilisers, contributing to the broader goal of low-emission, climate-smart agriculture.
New Board Members to Strengthen Sustainability and Policy Expertise
Alongside the funding round, Arevo expanded its board with the appointment of Maria Wetterstrand, former co-leader of Sweden’s Green Party and CEO of Miltton Europe. Wetterstrand brings expertise in sustainability policy, EU environmental regulation, and green innovation—areas critical to Arevo’s expansion strategy as the agricultural sector faces stricter climate standards.
Her appointment complements the company’s focus on aligning bio-based innovation with European sustainability goals and regulatory compliance across international markets.
Moving Toward Industrial-Scale and Global Impact
With fresh capital and an experienced leadership team, Arevo is advancing its mission to transform fertiliser production through sustainable chemistry and scalable biomanufacturing. The company’s next phase focuses on moving from pilot to full industrial production, supporting the growing demand for eco-efficient agricultural inputs worldwide.
