What BHKW & Energie Holding does

BHKW & Energie Holding is a German renewable energy company headquartered in Ravensburg, founded in 2018, with 101-250 employees. Per available firmographic data, it provides sustainable energy solutions and expert gas engine services. The publicly available source material aggregates product and technology detail associated with Jenbacher, a brand of INNIO Group, suggesting BHKW & Energie Holding operates within or alongside the broader Jenbacher/INNIO ecosystem for distributed gas engine-based energy generation in the German market.

The underlying product portfolio, as detailed in the source material, spans six gas engine series (Baureihen 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9) with power outputs from 360 kW to 10,606 kW per engine, plus containerized solutions for mobile and rapid-deployment power applications. The core technology is multi-fuel gas engine design — engines support natural gas, biogas, hydrogen, LNG, landfill gas, sewage gas, and industrial process gases (e.g., steel gases). Hydrogen compatibility is a stated technology differentiator. The digital layer consists of the myplant platform, offering EM (Energy Management) for real-time monitoring and APM (Asset Performance Management) with AI-based predictive analytics to optimize performance, resilience, and emissions.

Revenue mechanics span hardware sales of gas engines, multi-year service contracts (MYA), original spare parts, engine remanufacturing via the reUp program, technical training, and digital subscriptions via myplant. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with custom-engineered solutions (no public pricing). Target customers include industrial manufacturing, wastewater treatment, renewable energy producers, agriculture and food processing, data centers, oil and gas, waste management, and mining — primarily for combined heat and power (CHP), microgrids, backup power, and grid stability applications. Geographic footprint is global, with referenced installations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
