Puregas is a leading player in its field with subsidiary companies in Germany, Denmark, the U.K., and the United States, according to Wärtsilä.

The company utilities a unique CApure process to convert raw biogas to biomethane and renewable natural gas.

The acquisition will provide Wärtsilä with added equipment and expertise in biogas upgrading. The merging of the two companies will expand Wärtsilä’s overall reach in the gas value chain.

“We are acquiring a company with technical know-how, good references, and a strong market position.

“Puregas Solutions has grown successfully in recent years and we have now reached the point where it makes sense to achieve further growth through joining forces with a truly global technology specialist. Wärtsilä is a company with a similar philosophy towards creating customer value as our own, and we look forward to an exciting future together,” added Jan Molin, CEO, Puregas Solutions.
