iGas energy GmbH

iGas energy GmbH, founded in 2016 by Karl-Heinz Lentz, is an innovative company based in Stolberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, specializing in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of systems for the efficient use of seemingly lost resources.

• Circular Economy: iGas energy focuses on the complete return of valuable materials such as phosphorus and energy from aqueous organic waste back into material cycles. This includes the complete material recovery of sewage sludge and other organic waste generated in municipalities[3].
• Hydrogen from Renewable Energies: The company develops and operates systems for hydrogen production using high-pressure PEM electrolysis. This technology enables the storage of excess electrical power from renewable sources in the form of hydrogen[2][3].
• Innovative Gas Technology: iGas energy offers plant technology for supplying industrial processes with gases, particularly in the metal and glass industries. An example of this is the successful commissioning of an electrolyzer at the tinplate plant "Miory Steel" in Belarus, which produces up to 100 Nm³ of hydrogen per hour for the annealing process[3].

The company is committed to using resources sparingly and efficiently to promote a closed raw material cycle. The focus is on the development and implementation of technologies that protect the environment while being economically sustainable. iGas energy advocates for a future-oriented energy supply based on renewable energies and the circular economy.

• Green Hydrogen: iGas energy is involved in several projects aimed at producing hydrogen from renewable energies. A notable example is the contract for the construction of a facility for hydrogen production for the world's largest fleet of fuel cell trains[3].
• International Projects: The company is part of international consortia and projects, such as the METHQUEST project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), and the PRETZEL project. These initiatives contribute to the further development of technologies for sustainable energy supply[3].
• Awards and Recognitions: iGas energy has been recognized by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia and KlimaExpo NRW for its contributions to sustainable energy supply and the circular economy[3].

iGas energy GmbH is a pioneer in the development and implementation of technologies that promote the efficient use of resources and the production of green hydrogen. Through its innovative solutions and participation in international projects, the company makes a significant contribution to sustainable energy supply and the circular economy.
