Minegas GmbH is a joint venture between STEAG New Energies GmbH, LAMBDA Gesellschaft für Gastechnik mbH and Green Gas Germany GmbH. Since its foundation in 2001, the company has become one of the leading companies in the extraction and utilisation of mine gas in the Ruhr region. There are 16 sites between Duisburg and Hamm, which produce around 200 million kWh of electrical energy per year and feed it into the regional supply network. This is enough to guarantee the power supply for around 67,000 households.
In addition to generating electricity, Minegas also has a sustainable and ecologically sensible heating concept. Through the use of mine gas utilisation, approx. 3.1 million tonnes of equivalent CO2 emissions are avoided each year. Minegas GmbH has thus always made an important contribution to climate protection and improving the energy balance. The local heating network can also be supplied by extracting waste heat from numerous engines. A total of 70 million kWh of heat is passed on to private and public end customers.
Minegas has been working with Emission Partner for a good two years and purchases the catalytic converters and the associated catalytic converter chambers from them for various sites, including the ‘Minister Stein 4’ site in Dortmund.
‘We are very satisfied with the products and the service provided,’ reports Mr van Egeren. ‘Mr Wilhelm Stockel is a reliable contact person and, together with his team at Emission Partner, provides us with advice and support for a wide range of requirements and problem solutions.’
