EnviTec wins follow-up contract from RENERGIE green solutions

Additional joint projects planned

Lohne, 2 June 2009 – EnviTec Biogas AG [ISIN: DE000A0MVLS8] has won a contract from RENERGIE green solutions GmbH (RGS) for the construction of another biogas plant with an electrical output of 500 KW. Headquartered in Wetterzeube, Saxony-Anhalt, RGS is a subsidiary of Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien and has operated in the German biogas market since late 2007. The first two plants have laid the foundation for close cooperation in the future.

At the end of April 2009, EnviTec Biogas erected and started the first 500 kW plant for RGS in Dorf Mecklenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The next biogas plant will be built in Lübars, Saxony-Anhalt, and cover the electricty needs of some 1,000 households. The special feature of the plants is that they can run on a wide variety of different input materials. They can process not only liquid and solid manure and maize silage but also complete plants to produce environmentally friendly energy. “Our biogas plants are not only highly efficient. They are also very flexible when it comes to choosing the input materials,” said Olaf von Lehmden, CEO of EnviTec Biogas. “This way, we solve disposal problems and avoid mono-cultures."

“We have chosen EnviTec because of their proven technological expertise and reliability. The growing demand for energy and the shortage of fossil resources mean that the future belongs to renewable energy. We will therefore continue to invest in biogas,” said Dr. Andreas Glatzer, Managing Director of RENERGIE green solutions. RGS and EnviTec plan to realise additional projects in future. “We are pleased that RENERGIE green solutions has chosen our company again and are convinced that this partnership has huge potential,” said Olaf von Lehmden.
