“ W e saw an opportunity in very large industrial commodity companies like steel aluminium , glass and cement , to recover energy that is lost in the form of heat or from flammable gases the are emitted by the processes ,” says Gregg Bauer , Managing Director and one of the founding fathers of S2NRG .
“ Our concept is that we can use conventional technologies to capture the Industrial Renewable Energy that ’ s being lost or wasted and combine it with traditional renewable energy from PV solar , wind turbines etc . installed on the sites and integrate those two forms of renewable energy together to produce what we call Integrated Hybrid Energy .”
S2NRG as a company was founded after Bauer and his business partner Mark Roth were working on a project for a large steel company . Together
they realized that it wasn ’ t really sensible to be burning precious natural gas to produce energy or installing greenfield solar and wind facilities in locations where people don ’ t want them when this untapped energy source was readily available .
“ Nobody cares if you put something like a solar field or a wind facility on a steel mill site because they are generally ugly anyway ,” says Bauer .
This eventually brought them into the path of the founders of Dutch company The Source , Michel van Honk and Maurits van Oranje . The Source had been pursuing renewable projects in markets such as Brazil and Africa which was believed to be a good target for the new founded company : S2NRG .
Based in Amsterdam and with a core operational office for the US , located in Boston , US , S2NRG now
