As of today, the former Uniper subsidiary will operate under the umbrella of the EnviTec Biogas Group as LIQVIS powered by EnviTec Biogas. LIQVIS was founded in 2015 and runs a total of 18 LNG filling stations in Germany and France at strategic traffic hubs with particularly high truck traffic.

EnviTec Biogas acquires LIQVIS with 18 LNG filling stations in Germany and France.
“With the acquisition of LIQVIS GmbH, we are expanding our value chain to include the operation of our own LNG filling stations. The decision to take over the company and its team is a logical continuation of our corporate development,” says Olaf von Lehmden, CEO of EnviTec Biogas AG.
EnviTec Biogas AG plans to utilize LIQVIS’ existing LNG filling station infrastructure to exclusively sell bio-LNG, which is produced at EnviTec’s own BioEnergie Park Güstrow, among other locations. Compared to conventional fossil LNG, bio-LNG allows for a significant reduction in carbon emissions. “With regard to sales volumes, LIQVIS is a perfect match for the current production volumes of fuel-grade biomethane, including biomethane from our own plants in Forst, Friedland, and Güstrow among others!” adds Jörg Fischer, CFO of the mid-sized company operating globally from Lohne and Saerbeck in Germany.
“We are pleased to have found a takeover partner in EnviTec Biogas who will continue on the path taken by LIQVIS, thereby helping to reach the goal of climate neutrality in heavy-duty transport,” summarizes Sebastian Gröblinghoff, Vice-President of Green Fuels and M&A Project Lead for the sale of LIQVIS GmbH at Uniper SE.
