Greenmac specializes in the design and turnkey supply of biogas upgrading systems with more than 30 years of deep technology experience in the field of membrane and amine technology. Additionally, Greenmac holds a strong service and maintenance organization with an installed base across Europe.
Strong biogas upgrading portfolio
According to Bright Biomethane, the acquisition marks a significant milestone for the company as it enters the next phase of growth. It will allow the expansion of its extensive in-house engineering capabilities on (bio)gas cleaning technology, and adds a large new network in several regions, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH region).
We see a great opportunity to support Bright with its global ambition to develop the industry and are delighted to continue working as colleagues for worldwide deployment of renewable gas systems, said Geurt Aalderink, Director at Greenmac who will hold a management position at the engineering department of Bright Biomethane.
Headquartered in Enschede in the Netherlands, Bright Biomethane is a global leader in membrane biogas upgrading technology. Its product portfolio includes standardized containerized upgraders, carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction, virtual pipeline, service support across bioCNG and bioLNG applications in addition to biomethane (aka renewable natural gas – RNG).
Growth in (bio)gas treatment
According to Bright Biomethane, this development will accelerate the company’s strong organic growth across the world and allows it to continue its focus on innovation of the variety of gas treatment applications combined with best-in-class service and maintenance offerings.
The acquisition provides a “unique opportunity” to grow in activities by adding amine-based absorption technology to its range of products and expanding its portfolio to over 150 project references across the world.
This is in line with the company’s mission to improve deployment and conversion of biogas from organic residual streams and landfill gas (LFG) while continuing to ensure the highest long-term value, the lowest carbon intensity, greater independence on geopolitics, and more employment opportunities in local areas worldwide.
Bright has established itself as an industry leader in a relative short period of time. The acquisition is an important step in realizing our strong growth ambitions and Bright’s target annual revenue of EUR 100 million in the next years. We look forward that both teams join forces for the continued rollout of global renewable energy projects by offering technologies and products aimed at converting biogas into valuable and sustainable end-products, said Maarten Holtkamp, Commercial Director of Bright Biomethane.
