Transparency and personal contact are central values that the company maintains in its collaboration with its customers.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editBtX energy is actively committed to the energy transition and is a member of several significant networks, including the Hydrogen Research Network of the BMWi and the Hydrogen Alliance Bavaria. The company aims to make a substantial contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of biogas and biomass for hydrogen production. An outstanding example of the innovative strength of BtX energy is the project "BioH2Ref," which is funded in collaboration with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. Here, green hydrogen is produced from the manure of 250 cows, which is CO2-negative and thus has a positive impact on the environment.
Projects and Achievements
editA significant milestone for BtX energy is the production of the first green hydrogen approved in Germany from slurry and manure. This groundbreaking development demonstrates the potential of biogas technology for decarbonizing the transport sector. The company has successfully completed the REDcert-EU audit, which confirms the CO2 balance of the produced hydrogen and has approved it for quota trading.
BtX energy is committed to actively shaping the energy transition through continuous research and development as well as collaboration with partners from science and industry. The company remains true to its philosophy: "Do it, don't talk" and focuses on efficient solutions that make a real difference for the environment and society.
