Rosetti Marino Spa Acquires Green Methane

Important corporate movements can be seen in the field of clean energy production from alternative sources, such as agricultural waste and urban wet waste, known as OFMSW. As reported by Porto Ravenna, the Rosetti Marino Spa company has acquired 60% of Green Methane.

Rosetti Marino SpA. has purchased 60% of Green Methane srl , a leading company in Italy in the design, construction and commissioning of plants for the transformation of Biogas into Biomethane .

The agreement for the takeover of control of Green Methane by Rosetti Marino was reached between the CEO of the Ravenna company, Eng. Oscar Guerra on the one hand, and Dr. Ferruccio Marchi and Eng. Luigi Tomasi on the other, respectively Presidents of the transferring founding companies Marchi Energia srl and Giammarco-Vetrocoke Engineering srl.

However, the selling companies retain important shares in the new corporate structure led by Rosetti Marino, who with his Group will make the considerable technical, managerial and organizational skills and experience available to Green Methane.

Agricultural processing waste and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (FORSU) are the raw materials from which biogas is generated, which therefore has non-fossil origin and is mainly made up of methane and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Green Methane plants purify Biogas from CO2 and produce Green Methane with suitable characteristics, both for injection into the gas distribution network that reaches our homes and for transport.

The Green Methane technology was selected by the Ravenna Group because it produces Biomethane with a very high level of purity and because its plants - which are characterized by high efficiency and reduced operating costs - are perfectly compatible with those for methane liquefaction and generation of Hydrogen from Methane, already developed by Rosetti Marino through its subsidiary Fores Engineering srl

Furthermore, the CO2 separated from the Biogas is available at high purity and suitable for subsequent uses or destinations (CCU or CCS) without further treatments.

The declared objective of Rosetti Marino is therefore to present itself to the market as an integrated contractor on the entire Biogas treatment line, guaranteeing, based on customer needs, systems for the production of Green Methane, including liquefied, and Green Hydrogen.

Furthermore, for the Ravenna Group, Green Methane technology also represents direct access to technologies for CO2 capture, essential for achieving the decarbonisation objectives dictated by the European Green Deal and the COP 21 Conference in Paris.

The Green Methane operation is therefore part of a wide-ranging entrepreneurial project, which aims to consolidate Rosetti Marino's position as a protagonist in the energy plant engineering market, both in the present context of energy transition and in a future characterized mainly from the use of renewable sources and the circular economy.
