Swiss company Kanadevia Inova is supplementing its renewable energy activities by acquiring the business of ETOGAS GmbH. Following the acquisitions of Kompogas\u00ae and BioMethan, this marks a further consistent step in the field of sustainable energy recovery and utlilisation.<\/em>
\nOn October 21st<\/sup> 2016, Kanadevia Inova AG acquired the assets of Stuttgart-based ETOGAS GmbH. The business operations, employees, patents, property rights, expertise, and related assets acquired, will be transferred to the newly established Kanadevia Inova Etogas GmbH, based in Stuttgart.
\nWith the acquisition of the ETOGAS Power-to-Gas (PtG) technology, the Swiss company supplements its existing offering in the areas of thermal and biological energy-from-waste recovery and biomethane upgrading by adding a further product to their portfolio. Going forward, Kanadevia Inova will open up new possibilities for the technology to enter international markets.
\nInvestment in a Sustainable Energy Industry<\/strong>
\nThe developments in the energy sector call for flexible solutions to constantly and permanently ensure uninterrupted power supply and grid stability. The ETOGAS technology addresses these requirements by converting electricity into hydrogen using pressure electrolysis and methanation. By adding CO2<\/sub> from biogas plants, the hydrogen is converted into carbon-neutral synthetic natural gas (SNG), which is fed into the existing natural gas grid. Volatile renewable energy is thus converted and made storable and transportable. SNG is used as sustainable energy in areas such as individual mobility, households, and industry.
\nAlternative energy sources are becoming increasingly significant amid the global trend of energy transition. \u201cWith the acquisition of ETOGAS, we are addressing this trend and setting a further milestone in the renewable energy supply sector,\u201d said Kanadevia Inova CEO Franz-Josef Mengede. \u201cKanadevia Inova’s acquisition of ETOGAS once again demonstrates our commitment to finding sustainable solutions,\u201d he added. \u201cThe ETOGAS technology serves as a key component in the energy transition process. We are convinced that with the construction of the Audi e-gas facility in Werlte, we have made an investment in the energy supply of the future,\u201d said Reiner Mangold, Head of Sustainable Product Development at Audi AG.
\nExpanded Customer Base<\/strong>
\nWith over 80 years\u2019 experience in plant construction and more than 600 reference projects worldwide, Kanadevia Inova is one of the leading providers of complete turnkey energy-from-waste plants. The acquisition of the market leader ETOGAS will enable Kanadevia Inova to offer complete solutions for alternative energy recovery and utilization, while at the same time exploiting synergies with Kanadevia Inova BioMethan for methanation to the benefit of customers. \u201cWe are proud to be taking the ETOGAS activities forward, and to open up possibilities for this leading technology to develop internationally. Thanks to our wealth of experience in plant construction, we can also offer our customers the security they need with regard to having their projects delivered on budget and on time, and with the technological expertise and safety they expect,\u201d said Franz-Josef Mengede. \u201cConsidering our parent company\u2019s existing technology portfolio, which among others includes the electrolyzer and catalyst technologies, we believe this acquisition accelerates the group synergies in PtG business.\u201d he adds.
\nThe sale was made for strategic reasons. As a start-up firm, ETOGAS was able to establish primarily in the German market. International markets, however, have remained largely untapped. Kanadevia Inova as parent company will provide the necessary marketing, distribution network and other synergies for entering these markets. This takeover will also ensure the continuation of the ETOGAS location in Stuttgart. \u201cWe are convinced that the technological and specialist expertise of ETOGAS will be developed further as part of Kanadevia Inova, and that it will continue to grow as a key area of the company,\u201d stressed ETOGAS founder Gregor Waldstein.
\nETOGAS employees were informed of the current situation and the next steps at a special information event.
