MT-Energie GmbH
Efficiency through variety: MT-Energie is one of the leading German companies in the biogas industry with branches in several European countries
In the mid-1990s, when the success story of renewable primary products was only starting to take shape, Christoph Martens was already working intensively on cost-efficient biogas plants. On the property of his parents’ farm, the young engineer developed innovative solutions for biogas use.
His enthusiasm culminated in the formation of MT-Energie, one of the leading suppliers of biogas technology. Today, the company has close to 400 employees and is performing with an untamed pioneering spirit, and is therefore still a trendsetter in the industry. By now, MT-Energie has completed some 300 turnkey biogas projects with a total electric output of 150 Megawatts.
This biogas specialist from northern Germany entered the international market in 2006. The company set up branches in several southern and eastern European countries. Approximately 30 biogas plants have already started production there.
The performance portfolio comprises the development, planning and con struction of biogas plants and special components, as well as intensive technical and biological monitoring. Numerous components which are standard in any biogas plant today were developed and improved to common industry standards by MT-Energie. One example is air-inflated membrane covering. This is not only used for MT-Energie projects but is also sold to other producers of biogas plants – as many as 2,000 to date.
The primary target in the development of biogas plants and components is to create a simple, efficient and safe process. This ensures that MT biogas plants perform at great cost-efficiency and maintain the outstanding reputation they have gained in the market.
The latest development is an innovative biogas purification and injection system, which the MT-Group supplies through the MT-Biomethan GmbH. A non-pressurised amine washing separates the biogas into CO2 and methane. The purified biomethane has the quality of natural gas and will be fed into the public natural gas pipeline.
