Siemens and TURN2X join forces to scale up green energy production
Dr. Dominik Schollenberger, Co-Founder and CTO of TURN2X (l.) and Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation Siemens (r.), are signing the partnership agreement
TURN2X specializes in producing climate-neutral methane by combining green hydrogen with CO₂ captured from bioethanol plants, to create a renewable alternative to conventional natural gas. By joining forces with Siemens' advanced technology portfolio, the collaboration aims to significantly scale up TURN2X's production capabilities while optimizing efficiency across the company’s operations.
“The collaboration with TURN2X is an example of how Siemens technologies
can accelerate innovative solutions for clean energy,” said Axel Lorenz, CEO of
Process Automation at Siemens. "We’re making an important contribution to
the energy transition by helping advance promising concepts to the industrial
level with our expertise and our portfolio in automation and digitalization.”
Dr. Dominik Schollenberger, CTO at TURN2X, said: “As a growing company in the renewable natural
gas sector, our greatest challenge is scaling production while maintaining
operational excellence. Siemens' technology enables us to operate our plants
remotely with unprecedented efficiency, which is crucial for our business model
of securing long-term profitability from day one. This partnership gives us the
technological foundation to rapidly expand our production capacity and meet the
increasing market demand."
Under the agreement, Siemens will become the preferred supplier and
technology partner for TURN2X and provide a comprehensive suite of solutions
from its Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. The partnership will focus on three key
technological areas: First, process optimization using advanced automation
systems and instrumentation specifically tailored for TURN2X's unique green
methane production process. Second, operational excellence thanks to digital
twin technology and energy management solutions that enable sophisticated
remote plant operation with maximum efficiency. Third, future-readiness resulting
from enhanced cybersecurity and standardized solution development that will
accelerate the deployment of new facilities. This integrated approach will
enable TURN2X to rapidly expand its production capacity while maintaining the
highest standards of reliability.
By enabling more efficient and scalable renewable natural gas
production, the Siemens-TURN2X partnership will directly contribute to
expanding the availability of green energy alternatives on the market.
