What mint future GmbH does

mint future GmbH, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Osnabrück, Germany, operates the digital platform wirkaufendeinethg.de, which enables electric vehicle (EV) owners in Germany and Austria to monetize their statutory greenhouse-gas reduction quotas (Treibhausgasminderungsquote, or THG-Quoten). The platform handles end-to-end interactions on behalf of customers — from document upload and submission to the Umweltbundesamt (UBA) through to pooling and selling quotas to obligated fuel companies — serving private EV owners, fleet operators, charging point operators (CPOs), and a network of White Label B2B partners that re-distribute the service under their own brand.

The company's core technology includes an AI-based vehicle registration document validation pipeline co-developed with the related-entity / partner mmmint.ai, which automates UBA submissions at scale. The product surface spans a consumer self-service application (paying out €165 in 2026 for an M1-class EV plus a €50 new-customer bonus, with higher tiers for commercial vehicles up to €5,940 for M3 buses), a fleet portal supporting up to 200 vehicles per account, a CPO portal priced at €35/MWh (2025), and a White Label platform embedded by insurers, automotive dealerships, workshops, and municipal utilities (Stadtwerke). A suite of free embeddable web calculators — covering EV leasing vs. purchase, wallbox cost, charging cost, vehicle eligibility, and a 2026 Ladekarten-Vergleich across 46 tariffs from 18 providers — supports SEO-led acquisition and cross-sell.

mint future monetizes via a service fee (Servicepauschale) deducted from the proceeds of pooled quota sales to obligated mineral oil companies, complemented by White Label licensing arrangements and an optional customer donation flow (e.g., BVMW Zukunftswald reforestation). The company was co-founded by Maximilian Stein (Bundesverband THG Quote spokesperson), Max Leimkühler, and Mark Warneke (former Microsoft software engineer, CTO). Strategic investors are Tönnjes International Group GmbH (2022) and 1750 Ventures GmbH (December 2023); mint future is a founding member of the Bundesverband THG Quote e.V. and received the 2022 SME Enterprize 'Sustainable Hero' award.

Revenue model

1. THG Quota Transaction Fee / Commission: mint future aggregates individual THG quotas from EV owners and charging station operators, pools them, and sells them to obligated companies (mineral oil companies). mint future deducts a service fee/commission (Servicepauschale) from the total quota proceeds before distributing the remainder to customers. Customers can alternatively choose an immediate payout (Sofortauszahlung) at a pre-calculated rate, with clawback if the UBA rejects the application.
2. White Label Platform Licensing: B2B partners (dealerships, insurers, Stadtwerke, fleet operators) can embed the mint future White Label platform under their own brand to offer THG-quota services to their customers. Revenue is generated through the ongoing transaction fee share or licensing arrangement with partner.
3. Customer Option: Direct Payout vs. Sustainability Donation: Customers can choose to receive full payout of THG-quota proceeds or release a portion to fund sustainability projects (charging infrastructure, reforestation). mint future retains a share of the distributed amount as revenue regardless of whether the customer chooses payout or project funding.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• Hubject: Berlin-based e-roaming platform connecting charging networks, OEMs and energy utilities. Operates a marketplace that aggregates fragmented EV infrastructure providers, an adjacent aggregator role to mint future's pooling of EV owners' regulatory quotas.
• Greenstorm: Munich-based THG-quote platform offering EV owners payouts for greenhouse gas quotas across DACH. Directly competes with wirkaufendeinethg.de on the same buyer-seller matching model, B2C onboarding flow, and White Label B2B distribution to dealerships and fleet operators.
• The Mobility House: Munich/Emmending-based aggregator pooling EV assets for flexibility and energy market participation, including V2G and THG-quota monetization. Comparable as an aggregator broker sitting between EV owners and obligated energy/transport buyers with a similar regulatory-anchored marketplace model.

Others

• ClimatePartner: Munich-based carbon offset advisory and brokerage helping companies meet climate targets through certified offset projects. Adjacent to mint future in carbon-trading/ESG-themed services; could enter or partner in transport quota brokerage over time.
• ADAC: Germany's largest mobility association with tens of millions of members; offers motor-related insurance, roadside assistance, and increasingly e-mobility products. A trusted consumer brand that, as part of its e-mobility push, could offer THG-quote or EV savings services directly or via White Label partnership.

Broad incumbents

• EnBW: Large German energy utility operating EnBW mobility+ charging network and bundling EV services for Stadtwerke partners. Represents the type of incumbent that could internalise THG-quote services to defend utility/mobility customer relationships rather than partner via White Label.
• Vattenfall InCharge: Vattenfall's German e-mobility unit offering public charging, charging cards, and EV services for utilities/Stadtwerke. Broad incumbent with potential to bundle THG-quote handling alongside charging for fleet and B2B customers across DACH.
• E.ON Drive: E.ON's German e-mobility business providing charging hardware, electricity tariffs, and end-customer services. Comparable as a broad utility-incumbent with Stadtwerke-style partnerships and resources to absorb THG-quote processing into a wider customer portfolio.

Emerging players

• Finn.auto: German car-subscription platform for new ICE/Hybrid/BEV vehicles. Operates a fleet of owned vehicles that may themselves register THG quotas, an emerging buyer/seller relationship with mint future's brokerage model and a comparable DACH digital marketing playbook.
• nextmove: Stuttgart-based e-mobility leasing platform offering flexible EV subscriptions and fleet electrification. Closely related go-to-market for fleet operators and a potential customer or channel conflict for mint future's fleet THG-quota product.
