May 11, 2026. Ameresco, Inc. and HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. announced their agreement to spin off Ameresco’s biofuels business into a newly formed joint venture: Neogenyx Fuels.
Neogenyx Fuels will be owned 70% by Ameresco and 30% by HASI. As part of the transaction, Ameresco will contribute its biofuels business, comprising its scaled asset base and proven development and operating capabilities, into the joint venture, and HASI will commit to invest $400 million to support the growth of Neogenyx Fuels. The transaction represents a strategic step to unlock the significant value embedded in Ameresco’s biofuels business, representing a $1.8 billion post-money enterprise value. The agreement has been signed, with closing expected within the quarter.
Backed by two established industry leaders, Neogenyx Fuels will be a premier developer, owner, and operator of advanced fuel solutions accelerating the global energy transition. The joint venture is structured to drive long-term growth by pairing Ameresco’s deep technical expertise and proven execution capabilities with HASI’s scalable and flexible capital platform and extensive track record of structuring and executing investments in sustainable infrastructure assets. Together, this foundation of technical independence, engineering excellence, and operational rigor positions Neogenyx Fuels to deliver resilient energy solutions at scale globally.
The renewable natural gas (RNG) market is experiencing tremendous growth, supported by the rising global demand for low-carbon energy sources and an increased emphasis on domestic energy supplies and drop-in fuel solutions. According to a 2025 ICF market study, RNG demand is projected to grow across sectors from approximately 139-153M MMBtu/y today to as much as 612M MMBtu/y by 2030, with emerging demand in sustainable aviation fuel, maritime applications, and international markets further reinforcing the long-term trajectory for domestic RNG production.
After closing, Neogenyx Fuels will be one of the largest developers of biogas projects in the U.S., a product of Ameresco’s 25-year track record in greenfield development and long-term asset operation. With a tremendous development pipeline, we believe Neogenyx Fuels will be poised to support the buildout of scalable infrastructure that can drive job creation while reinforcing U.S. leadership in both the domestic use and global export of next-generation fuels.
