Future in the Making – CAPHENIA and MAN continue their long-standing cooperation
MAN Energy Solutions is one of the most renowned plant manufacturers in the world and has a wealth of experience in the construction of chemical reactors. A look at the future technologies in MAN Energy Solutions’ portfolio, including the storage of solar energy by molten salts (MOSAS), the compression of CO2 for storage (CCS) or the broad field of power-to-X technologies makes it clear what role MAN can play in the energy system of the future.
We are therefore all the more pleased that we are continuing our long-standing cooperation and that MAN will continue to participate in the development of our innovative reactors for the synthesis of renewable fuels. The remarkable production capacities at the Deggendorf site will make it possible to produce both large numbers of reactors and highly scaled reactor sizes.

CEO Dr. Mark Misselhorn had the opportunity to discuss the high potential of producing renewable, synthetic fuels for air and rail transport or other areas of mobility from biogas, CO2 and renewable electricity with site manager Norbert Anger and the two members of the Bundestag Thomas Erndl and Alois Rainer on site. ReFuels will be a central component of the energy transition.
Dr. Christian Librera Appointed New Chief Operating Officer (COO) of CAPHENIA
As Chief Operating Officer (COO) of CAPHENIA, Dr. Christian Librera is responsible for the operational implementation and industrial scaling of the CAPHENIA technology. His focus is on transferring the innovative Plasma-Boudouard Reactor Technology (PBR) from the pilot plant to industrial scale and building an efficient production infrastructure for renewable fuels.
Dr. Helge Sachs will become the new Chief Commercial Officer of CAPHENIA
The Bavarian clean-tech company CAPHENIA announces the appointment of Dr. Helge Sachs as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), effective January 1, 2025. This strategic decision underscores CAPHENIA’s transformation from an innovative technology start-up to a leading company in the field of renewable fuels, particularly sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
CAPHENIA begins final construction phase of the demo plant “GERMANY I” at the industrial site in Frankfurt-Höchst.
The Bavarian clean-tech company CAPHENIA has successfully reached a significant milestone: The custom-built reactor with its unique Plasma-Boudouard technology (PBR) has been transported to the production site at the Frankfurt-Höchst industrial park, where it is now being integrated into the existing facility.
