## Product overview

## What is New Energy?

New Energy is an overarching product and solution field for new energy sources, alternative fuels and chemical energy sources that can play an important role in existing or new application environments. The focus is on solutions for areas in which pure electrification is not always sufficient or can only be implemented with high infrastructure costs.

These include, in particular, synthetic fuels on a power-to-X basis, hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives such as ammonia or methanol as well as sustainable aviation fuels and selected drop-in-capable biofuels. Production, logistics, storage, safety requirements and depth of integration differ significantly depending on the product.

For companies, New Energy is therefore not a single product, but a decision-making area. Questions such as: What technical specification is required? What infrastructure is available? Does direct use make sense or is a derivative more economical? Which quantity profiles, import routes and safety requirements need to be taken into account?

The practical benefit lies in a structured selection. Instead of abstract promises for the future, the focus is on concrete options for transportation, industrial processes, heating, shipping, aviation or chemical value creation. This creates a sound basis for procurement, project development and long-term supply.

## Typical applications

New Energy is particularly relevant where high energy densities, international supply chains, continuous load profiles or processes that are difficult to electrify play a role.

### Heavy-duty and long-distance transportation
Alternative fuels or hydrogen solutions can be useful for applications with long ranges, short downtimes and demanding load profiles. The decisive factors here are refueling logic, fleet profile, availability and the question of whether existing systems should continue to be used.

### Aviation
In aviation, the focus is primarily on sustainable aviation fuels and, in the future, synthetic kerosene paths. Compatibility with existing aviation quality and safety requirements and secure integration into international supply chains are particularly important here.

### Shipping
Hydrogen-based derivatives such as ammonia or methanol play an important role in shipping because they can be transported globally as energy sources and supplied in large volumes. At the same time, safety concepts, port infrastructure and bunkering systems are key.

### Industrial processes
In industry, new energy can be relevant as a raw material, fuel or process energy, for example in chemicals, logistics or energy-intensive production environments. Depending on the application, the focus is on the use of materials, high-temperature requirements, load flexibility and emission reduction in the respective process.

### Heat and decentralized energy supply
For selected locations, hydrogen, fuel cell solutions or compatible liquid energy sources can be part of a decentralized energy supply. The prerequisite is always a technical examination of the existing infrastructure, load profile and economic viability.

### Chemical value creation
Ammonia and methanol are not only energy sources, but also important platform chemicals. This opens up applications in further processing, in international trade and in integrated industrial and port projects.

## Technical properties

## Technical properties

New Energy comprises several product groups with different physical, chemical and logistical requirements. For this reason, the technical assessment is always product- and application-related.

In the case of synthetic fuels, the focus is on molecular quality. Power-to-X products are produced on the basis of hydrogen and carbon and can be used as synthetic diesel, synthetic petrol, synthetic kerosene or chemical feedstock, depending on the production route. If such products are used as a drop-in solution, the decisive factor is whether they meet the respective end-use specification, for example in terms of existing fuel standards and blend limits. Relevant reference frameworks are application-specific, for example EN 590 for diesel fuels, EN 228 for gasoline or ASTM specifications in the aviation sector.

In the case of hydrogen, purity, pressure level, aggregate state and transport route are decisive. Technically relevant factors include product purity, moisture, impurities, compression or liquefaction concept and suitability for the respective use, for example as a raw material, for fuel cells or in industrial processes. In mobile applications, quality assurance is typically based on relevant hydrogen specifications such as ISO 14687, supplemented by site and system-related requirements.

Green ammonia is a hydrogen-based derivative that is highly relevant for storage, marine transportation and large-volume supply. Technically important here are purity, water content, material compatibility, toxicity, pressure and temperature control as well as requirements from storage, handling and dangerous goods legislation. Unloading, evaporation and safety concepts are also required for use as an energy source or chemical raw material.

Methanol can be both a chemical raw material and an energy source. The purity, water content, flash point, material compatibility and integration into existing process or bunkering systems are the most important factors for the application. In the shipping and chemical industries, methanol is particularly interesting where liquid handling, international availability and standardizable supply chains are relevant.

Sustainable aviation fuels and drop-in biofuels are primarily evaluated according to whether they can be integrated into existing systems without having to replace the entire infrastructure or drive technology. Decisive factors here are product origin, certification logic, blending capability, low-temperature properties, storage stability and compliance with the applicable quality specifications, for example ASTM D7566 or, in road traffic, EN 15940 for paraffinic diesel fuels.

In addition to the product specification, safety and quality aspects play a central role across all variants. These include safety data sheets, hazardous substance and transport classification, traceability, supply chain documentation, test certificates, proof of sustainability, material compatibility of the infrastructure and clear operating and emergency concepts.

## Advantages of the product

## Advantages of the product

New Energy creates added value above all where companies are not looking for a general narrative of the future, but for resilient options for real applications. The first advantage therefore lies in the technological bandwidth. Instead of looking at just one energy source, different paths can be categorized according to area of application, infrastructure and volume requirements.

Another advantage is the proximity to the application. Many new energy products are particularly relevant for segments in which high energy density, international logistics or continuous availability are crucial. This applies to aviation, shipping, heavy goods traffic or industrial processes with constant energy requirements, for example.

There is also the possibility of partially reusing existing systems. The transition can take place gradually, especially for drop-in-capable or specification-related products. This reduces conversion costs and makes it possible to make decisions based on technical and economic realities.

New Energy also offers advantages from a procurement perspective. Hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, synthetic fuels and biofuels differ greatly in terms of production sites, transport chains and storage logics. If these differences are clearly structured at an early stage, planning, risk assessment and investment security are improved.

Last but not least, New Energy supports a differentiated emissions strategy. The impact that can be achieved always depends on the product path, application, verification and supply chain. This is precisely why a precise classification is more valuable than blanket statements. Companies retain control over data, options and the sequence of their next steps.

## Delivery and supply

## Delivery and supply

At New Energy, supply is much more than just product availability. How production, import, storage, transshipment and end use fit together is crucial. Liquid energy sources and chemical derivatives often offer advantages here because they can be mapped in international trading structures, tank storage concepts and port logics.

It is important for supply planning whether a product is to be produced regionally, imported, bundled or processed close to the location. Transport routes differ significantly depending on the energy source: hydrogen requires different infrastructures than ammonia, methanol or synthetic liquid fuels. This results in different requirements for terminal capacities, container technology, safety distances, documentation and quality control.

Above all, companies benefit from a flexible supply logic. This includes comparing volume profiles with actual demand, planning for seasonal or project-specific fluctuations and providing alternatives for ramp-up phases. Particularly in early market developments, it makes sense to evaluate supply not only in terms of price, but also availability, specification, origin and verifiability.

Infrastructure also plays a central role. Existing tank farms, port locations, logistics networks and technical interfaces can make implementation much easier. That is why a reliable new energy supply does not start with a blanket product selection, but with an examination of location, application, safety requirements and the realistically available supply chain.

## Product variants

## Product variants

### Synthetic fuels / e-fuels
Synthetic fuels are produced on the basis of hydrogen and carbon in power-to-X processes. They are particularly relevant for applications in which liquid energy sources with a high energy density are required, for example in aviation, shipping or in the heavy-duty segment. The main benefit lies in the ability to connect to existing logistics and utilization systems, provided that the respective product specification is met. The differentiation from other variants lies in the liquid handling and the proximity to known fuel applications.

### Green hydrogen
Green hydrogen is a central building block of many new energy paths. It can be used directly as a raw material, fuel or energy carrier and is also a starting material for other derivatives. It is particularly useful where process gas, high purity or direct use of hydrogen is required. In contrast to liquid derivatives, infrastructure, compression, storage and transportation are usually more demanding.

### Green ammonia
Green ammonia is a hydrogen-based derivative with high relevance for international supply chains. It is suitable as a chemical raw material and can also be of interest as an energy source or marine fuel in certain applications. Its advantage is that it can be stored and transported in large volumes. The difference to hydrogen lies in the simpler global logistics, but also in the higher requirements for safety, material compatibility and handling.

### Methanol
Methanol combines chemical and energetic usability. It can serve as a platform chemical and at the same time play a role in certain mobility and industrial applications. Particularly attractive is its liquid handling, which makes existing logistics structures usable. Compared to ammonia, methanol often scores points for integration into certain systems, while its suitability always depends on the application, specification and safety concept.

### Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
SAF is geared towards aviation and is relevant for companies involved in aviation fuel supply, aviation logistics or corresponding reduction paths. The benefit lies in the compatibility with existing aviation processes within the applicable specifications and blending limits. The clear distinction is that SAF is not a general new-energy fuel, but a highly specialized solution for the aviation sector.

### Drop-in biofuels
Drop-in biofuels are interesting for applications in which existing engine, tank or supply structures are to be reused as far as possible. They offer a pragmatic entry into alternative procurement paths if the specification, availability and evidence match the demand. Compared to Power-to-X products, their strength often lies in their proximity to the market at short notice, while their origin, feedstock logic and application limits must be carefully examined.

### PtX storage and infrastructure concepts
This variant does not describe a single molecule class, but the infrastructural basis for New Energy. This includes storage, import terminals, transshipment, processing and supply interfaces. The benefit lies in the fact that projects are not viewed in isolation as a product issue, but as a complete supply solution. The distinction to the other variants is clear: the focus here is not on the molecule, but on the feasibility on an industrial scale.

## Extended classification

## New Energy as a bridge between market, technology and infrastructure

With New Energy, it is not just the product idea that is decisive, but the combination of molecule, infrastructure and application. An energy source can make technical sense and still fail at the location if the storage, transportation or safety concept is not suitable. Conversely, a less spectacular solution may be the better choice if it can be integrated more quickly and cleanly with existing processes.

That's why a good product page on new energy is not just a list of technologies. It must show which options are available, where their strengths lie and which differences in supply, quality and application profile are relevant. This is precisely what provides orientation that can be used for procurement, project development and operational decisions.

## FAQ

## FAQ

### Which products are part of New Energy at MB Energy?
New Energy does not comprise a single standard product, but several product paths with different areas of application. These primarily include synthetic fuels, green hydrogen, green ammonia, methanol, sustainable aviation fuels and selected drop-in-capable biofuels. Which variant makes sense depends on the application, infrastructure, volume profile, safety requirements and the desired degree of integration into existing systems. New Energy should therefore always be seen as a solution field and not as an individual solution.

### For which companies is New Energy particularly relevant?
New Energy is particularly relevant for companies with high energy requirements, complex logistics or applications that cannot be easily electrified. These include industrial companies, aviation and shipping players, logistics companies, operators of energy-intensive sites and organizations with international procurement. Project developers and companies with a connection to ports or terminals also benefit from a structured classification, as supply and infrastructure are closely linked here.

### What is the difference between hydrogen, ammonia and synthetic fuels?
The most important difference lies in use, handling and infrastructure. Hydrogen is a basic building block of many new energy pathways and can be used directly or processed further, but places high demands on storage and transportation. As a hydrogen-based derivative, ammonia is interesting for large-volume storage and international logistics, but requires sophisticated safety concepts. Synthetic fuels are particularly relevant when liquid energy sources with high energy density and proximity to existing applications are required.

### Can New Energy be integrated into existing infrastructure?
This is possible, but not across the board. Some products, such as certain drop-in-capable fuels, can be connected closer to existing systems than others. For hydrogen, ammonia or new bunkering systems, the infrastructure requirements can be significantly higher. The decisive factors are therefore always location, material compatibility, storage concept, safety requirements, quality specifications and the question of whether direct use or a gradual introduction makes more economic and technical sense.

### Which technical data is particularly important when making a selection?
The most important factors are purity, energy density, storage and transport properties, material compatibility, hazardous substance classification and the respective end use specification. There are also documentation and verification requirements, for example for quality, origin or sustainability criteria. In practice, pressure and temperature control, blending capability, traceability, interfaces to the existing system and the question of how stable and plannable the respective supply path can be implemented during operation are also important.

### Is New Energy immediately the right solution for every application?
Not automatically. Some applications benefit from the direct integration of new energy sources, others benefit more from a gradual approach. This is precisely why an objective assessment is important. If you only look at the product name, you often overlook the issues of infrastructure, safety concept, approval, supply chain and actual operating practice. A good decision is therefore the result of a combination of technical suitability, availability, economic viability and organizational feasibility.

### How can security of supply be assessed for new energy?
Security of supply results from several factors: production location, importability, storability, transportation route, contractual system, infrastructure access and product quality. For new energy solutions, it is also important how far a market is developed and whether procurement can already be carried out in stable volume paths. Companies should therefore not only consider the energy source, but also the resilience of the entire supply chain, including documentation, handling and operational integration.

### What role does sustainability play in the classification of new energy?
Sustainability is relevant, but should be categorized precisely. Not every New Energy solution has the same effect in every application, and not every statement can be applied across the board to all supply chains. The product path, production route, origin, evidence and the specific application are decisive. It therefore makes sense to make an objective assessment with clear conditions and reliable data. In this way, the decision remains comprehensible and compatible for procurement, technology and internal governance.
