Center for Future Energy Technologies
About us

The Koch family has been engaged in the field of renewable energy for more than 25 years.

 

This has resulted in plants for generating renewable energy from regional raw and residual materials to supply the population with heat, electricity and fuel. In cooperation with national and international universities and research institutes, technologies were developed and tested in real operation.

​

The years of experience of various groups from Güssing in the field of renewable energies have now been bundled and the "Center for Future Energy Technologies - CeFET" was founded. The focus is on the production of "renewable gases": synthetic natural gas and hydrogen from biogenic raw and residual materials.​
