“In my #StrawClever column and podcast I present my insights into current issues facing German and European mobility strategy and energy policies. The articles are designed to encourage politicians and members of the public to include all currently available technologies and solutions in their thinking, and to stop the current single-track debate and decision-making which ignore the facts of the situation and to finally take action. I am happy to make myself available for background discussions and interviews.”

Claus Sauter is an entrepreneur, an expert in bioenergy, and an advocate of more open mindedness in the choice of technologies used to manage the transformation of the energy and transport sectors. As founder and Chief Executive Officer he has managed VERBIO since 2006. With his excellent business instincts, the right timing, innovative solutions and the courage to pursue his goals, he has made VERBIO SE into the technology leader in the European biofuels market, and led it on to an international growth path in Asia and North America.

He values agriculture as a strong partner, and has ensured that VERBIO is focussed on processing all types of agricultural waste and residues, converting them into clean energy and sustainable bio-components for use in industry.
