Vision
We believe in the possibility to create a world in which sustainable energy is available anywhere and to anyone without generating harmful emissions.
Mission
NGM is committed to develop viable, scalable technology for generating off-grid energy.
We deliver solutions that make renewable energy truly sustainable!
We are convinced that the energy transition can only succeed with the existance of clean energy solutions are both practical, safe ánd viable. Based on green methanol as energycarrier NGM develops technology that edelivers clean and affordable electricity without grid connection. This technology will be suitable for external power generation as well as integrated power unit in machinery.
NGM primary focus is on making construction and agricultural machinery, such as excavators, shovels and tractors, more sustainable. Aggregates and machinery are usually powered by a diesel engine. Electric driven models become more available on the market and their share is increasing, driving the next challenge: to charge them. Lacking charging infrastructure is a potential risk to slow down the development.
Tailored to solve this bottleneck NGM develops its Mobile Charging Unit and to make real impact. The basis for the design of the MCU are – next to sustainability – reliability, practicality and economical viability as credible replacement of the diesel engine.
