The Green Cycle
We have developed a circular closed loop that uses renewable energy to produce green hydrogen and combines it with recycled CO₂ to transport it as e-NG (electric natural gas), a green gas that can replace fossil natural gas.
STEP 1
We gather solar and wind energy
We generate renewable energy at scale in the world’s sunniest and windiest places.
STEP 2
We produce green hydrogen
We use the power of renewable energy to produce green hydrogen with a process called electrolysis.
STEP 3
We create e-NG
We combine our green hydrogen with recycled CO₂ to make a green gas called e-NG. It is a fossil-free alternative to natural gas.
STEP 4
We ship and distribute e-NG worldwide
We produce, ship, store and distribute e-NG and green hydrogen by using existing energy infrastructure.
STEP 5
We deliver e-NG and green hydrogen to our customers
We provide a range of green energy products to customers who want to contribute to a more liveable, cost-effective, climate-positive future. We offer full flexibility, control, and transparency.
STEP 6
We capture and recycle CO₂
After the e-NG is used, CO₂ is captured and recycled to produce more e-NG. This is how we keep the Green Cycle turning.

The market for e-NG will be very significant
Today, electricity provides around 20% of global energy use. The other 80% of our energy needs are met by molecules that come from fossil sources like natural gas, coal, and mineral oils. Electrification is on the rise, but not all industries can be electrified and will continue to rely on molecules in the future.
By 2050, electricity will grow to about 50% of our energy mix while the remaining 50% of demand will be covered by molecules. Turning electricity from grey to green has been made possible by building solar panels and wind farms. This massive scale-up of renewable electricity can now also be leveraged to create green molecules, like green hydrogen, for sectors that are still relying on fossil molecules and cannot be electrified.
Green hydrogen is a fossil-free molecule that can store large amounts of energy and is easy to make using just water and electricity. Because hydrogen is hard to store and transport and lacks well-developed infrastructure, it is usually bonded to carrier molecules. At TES, we have developed a synthetic methane called e-NG (electric natural gas).
We make e-NG from green hydrogen and recycled CO₂. We believe that e-NG is the smartest use of available technologies because it can be deployed immediately to existing gas networks and pipelines. e-NG enables us to meet demand for green molecules and slash emissions immediately without waiting for major infrastructure upgrades or conversion costs. It is a solution for today that is flexible enough to meet the demands of tomorrow.
To meet different customer needs and capabilities, our initial projects will focus on leveraging renewable electricity for the production of green hydrogen and its conversion into e-NG by combining it with recycled CO₂, such as biogenic or from direct air capture. Thereby, we gain a significant 3-year advantage in green energy supply while working towards closing the carbon loop, where CO₂ is captured at the point of emission and fed directly back into e-NG production.
How it works
Carbon allows us to unleash the power of green hydrogen and counteract its shortcomings. We use CO₂ in a closed loop as a means of transporting green hydrogen and reducing carbon emissions: the Green Cycle enables us to trap our carefully-managed carbon stocks in a continuous process that prevents it escaping into the atmosphere.
