1995
Award for the worldwide patent for the Carbo-V Process
1998
Start-up of the 1MWth Carbo-V pilot plant (Alpha Plant) in Freiberg for manufacturing synthetic gas from carbon content feedstock materials.
1998 – 2004
Comprehensive process tests for more than 22,500 operating hours. Feedstock: untreated wood, various types of recycled lumbar, dry stabilate from waste processing, meat and bone meal, black coal and lignite.

2002
Expanding the pilot plant to include automotive fuel synthesis
11/2002
The foundation stone for the Beta Plant was laid at the Freiberg site for the construction of an industrial-scale 50 MWth Carbo-V prototype unit for refining local biomass (char production plant)
12/2002 – 06/2003
Construction and installation of char production plant
Sept. 2003: Start-up of the char plant with subsequent test operations
04/2003
Renewable automotive fuels from biomass (wood chips) began to be manufactured as part of a combined research project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Labor. Cooperation partners: DaimlerChrysler AG and Volkswagen AG.
2005 -2006
