Arboris GmbH & Co. KG, the Tschira family’s family office, is taking a stake in Green hydrogen Technology GmbH (GHT) as a long-term investor. The goal of the partnership is to advance the industrial scaling of GHT’s technology, which converts non-recyclable waste at the local level into climate-neutral hydrogen and usable CO₂.
GHT is pursuing a novel approach to combining the circular economy with the energy transition. Instead of incinerating or landfilling non-recyclable waste, it is used as a local resource and converted into hydrogen on-site. The plants are built directly where waste is generated. This creates decentralized and independent energy hubs that strengthen regional value creation and open up new prospects for the hydrogen economy.
With Arboris’s investment, GHT is positioning itself for its next phase of growth to accelerate the industrial scaling of its technology and implement upcoming projects in the waste management market. At the same time, GHT is expanding its investor base to include another relevant and complementary partner. The company already brings together strong partners from the energy, mobility, and waste management sectors, including founder and entrepreneur Harald Mayer, RheinEnergie AG, hylane GmbH, and ETG Entsorgung und Transport GmbH.
“During our discussions, we came to know Arboris as a value-oriented investor with a long-term perspective,” says Robert Nave, CEO of GHT. “We were particularly impressed by the combination of an entrepreneurial understanding of value, the commitment to enabling sustainability for future generations, and the conviction to promote technological strength from Germany.”
GHT simultaneously addresses three key challenges of our time: the growing burden of plastic and waste, the need for climate-neutral energy sources, and the necessity of resilient and regional energy systems. Demand from the waste management industry shows that this approach is meeting with significant market interest.
The investment comes at a time of increasing market momentum. At the beginning of the year, the commissioning of the first commercial GHT plant was successfully completed. Next year, a family-run waste management company from southern Germany plans to collaborate with GHT to implement one of the most significant decentralized hydrogen projects among German small and medium-sized enterprises (
). The project is expected to process over 20,000 metric tons of non-recyclable waste annually and generate over 2,000 metric tons of hydrogen from it. Additional projects are in the planning stages.
