Bmp greengas works with "Greenbook", a system that detects the origin of biogas. The Deutsche Energie-Agentur (German Energy Agency) is also working with this system. This register was developed in 2009 and documents all biomethane quantities in the different development stages. The reason for the introduction of this system was the amendment of the Renewable Energy Sources Act 2009.
History
Bmp greengas GmbH was founded in 2003. The business idea was to prepare biogas and feed it into the natural gas network. After several analyzes in the years 2004 and 2005, a biomethane plant was developed. This plant was built in Pliening in 2006 and was the first one to feed biogas directly into the natural gas network. In 2007, the project was outsourced to RES Projects.
The founder and managing director was Andreas Seebach. He was supported by his brother in 2013. Volker Seebach has been the sole managing director of bmp greengas since 2014.
Innovation price
In 2009, the company received the first innovation prize awarded by the Deutsche Energie-Agentur.
