Hy2gen has announced the successful acquisition of kiwi AG in Werlte, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The acquisition includes what is currently the world's largest operating power-to-eMethane plant in Werlte.
The integration of kiwi AG marks an important milestone for Hy2gen, as it means the internationally active company is now entering into the production of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives, such as renewable natural gas (RNG) and renewable liquefied natural gas (LNG).
“Today is an important day for Hy2gen AG as we are now starting to produce hydrogen molecules,” said Hy2gen’s CEO Cyril Dufau-Sansot.
“kiwi AG can look back on 10 years of experience in the hydrogen market, in which time they have built and operated a truly pioneering plant.
“The integration of kiwi AG into Hy2gen AG allows us to benefit from their technical expertise and brings us a lot closer to our goal of becoming an independent market leader in the production of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives.”
Matthias Lisson, Hy2gen’s country manager for the DACH region, added: “The acquisition of the plant also enables us to expand our product portfolio from renewable hydrogen, renewable ammonia, e-methanol, e-methane and e-kerosene to include renewable natural gas and liquefied natural gas.”
The kiwi AG plant in Werlte, formerly Audi e-Gas, is located not far from another Hy2gen project in Friesoythe.
It is expected that the production of renewable hydrogen and renewable methanol, which is mainly used to decarbonise shipping, will begin in Friesoythe in the fourth quarter of 2027 under the project name NAUTILUS.
