Securing Energy for Germany
In 2022, the company announced a major deal with hydrogen company TES, which included the delivery of ECOnnect Energy’s LNG transfer technology to Wilhelmshaven. This technology allows for the transport of gas from ships to land without extensive onshore infrastructure. With this solution, ECOnnect provides infrastructure to meet 8.5% of Germany’s gas demand, strengthening the country’s energy supply during challenging periods.
“ECOnnect’s founders are not only leaders but also pioneers within the energy industry. They have shown an impressive ability to think long-term and to place sustainable solutions at the core of their business,” says Hanne Thu Clausen, Chief People Officer at ECOnnect Energy.
