About the Company

Kanadevia Inova

Designs, builds PtG turnkey plants

Etogas/HZI EtoGas designs and builds turnkey Power-to-Gas plants that convert surplus renewable electricity into storable gases like hydrogen and synthetic natural gas.

The company differentiates itself with large-scale industrial deployment (such as the Werlte Audi e-gas project), a turnkey delivery model, and integration into Hitachi Zosen Inova’s global energy portfolio. Its goal is to improve grid stability and support long-term decarbonization by storing renewable energy as synthetic gases and providing scalable PtG solutions worldwide.
