Green Methanol/SAF/ Ammonia Experts

What Green Methanol/SAF/ Ammonia Experts does

HY-NEO, operating through its HY-EU, HY-SAF and HY-BIOCHEM sub-brands, is an independent B2B supply-chain marketing and sales platform focused on green fuels and bio-chemicals. The company connects FID-ready producers of green methanol, green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel (Bio-SAF and eSAF), bio-diesel and green industrial chemicals with large-volume off-takers in the maritime, aviation and industrial sectors across Europe, the Americas, Canada, Australia and parts of LATAM. Its service portfolio spans free buyer-registration programs (aviation, maritime, industry), a sell-side aggregation service for producers, a Capacity Partner Program linking producers with investors and logistics partners, and three hub initiatives — GREEN-SEA.org, GREEN-Port.org and GREEN-AIRPORT.org — that anchor its distribution ecosystem. The company is registered with the EU Transparency Register, positions itself as REDII compliant, and requires ISCC and ICCS certification for producers in its supply chains.

Underlying the offering is a relationship-driven marketplace model rather than a software product. The platform reportedly facilitates 42 million tonnes per year of green fuel demand, offers four green-methanol booking options and a small set of SAF and green-chemical options, and structures deals around minimum 5-year off-take cycles with 20-year ideal cycles. The technology stack is not disclosed; the value proposition rests on the founder team's M&A and advisory expertise, exclusive access to maritime and land-based logistics partners, and an investor network including pension funds, public funds and institutional investors.

The business model combines flat day-rate fees for buyer shortlist services, success-based fees on completed long-term off-takes, recurring global-sales-partner mandates, and white-label purchase services that allow the platform to act as principal off-taker for producers. The company is privately held, founder-led by Dieter Hesse from Taufkirchen near Munich, and operates with a headcount of approximately 7 employees. No external funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors are disclosed in the source data.
