The global market-leading biogas technology company is also expanding in Hungary

Recently, an international investment company, Marny International Investment Company, bought a majority stake in the world’s leading biogas technology company, Anaergia. The same group has been present in Hungary as a real estate investor and operator for many years under the name Alfa Group, so it is obvious that it will also appear in the domestic biogas business in the near future.

The subject of the transaction, Anaergia, primarily deals with the utilization of organic waste on 4 continents. With their technology, they produce biogas (methane) and excellent organic fertilizer with a higher efficiency than artificial fertilizer. While the former can be directly fed into the natural gas network or used to generate electricity, reducing the need for fossil natural gas and the related import exposure, the latter can be applied to the fields, where – unlike artificial fertilizers – it enriches the soil and accelerates the formation of humus, thus also serving sustainable farming.

By preventing the release of strong greenhouse gas methane from decomposing organic waste in landfills, Anaergia’s technology contributes to carbon neutrality and mitigates global warming – pointed out the essence of the technology, Assaf Onn, who as head of the investment company also manages the acquired Anaergia took over. The specialist emphasized that Marny, and its subsidiary Alfa Group, which is also known in Hungary, has been committed to renewable energies and environmental protection from the beginning, as evidenced by its domestic real estate portfolio. With the acquisition, the company has therefore taken a big step on a path that has already begun, and they intend to use the technology to create additional biogas plants in Hungary as well.
