About

Founded in 2019, BtX energy GmbH is a private company headquartered in Bindlach, Germany with approximately 11-50 employees specializing in Hydrogen, Biogas.

BtX energy GmbH is a spin-off from research and engineering specializing in green hydrogen and methanol production from biogas and biomass. The company develops and operates decentralized plants for hydrogen and methanol synthesis, focusing on sustainable alternatives for existing biogas facilities and agricultural residues. BtX operates a pilot facility at Lefkeshof farm in Krefeld that produces hydrogen from manure and slurry via steam reforming. The company is a technology leader in bio-hydrogen production and offers process engineering for synthesis gas treatment, water-gas-shift reactors, and custom container solutions. BtX's hydrogen achieved first German certification for renewable fuel quota trading in 2024.
