EFG Green Gas

EFG Green Gas is a Czech renewable-energy brand operating within the EFG Energy financial group a.s. (EFG holding), an investment group based in Prague that focuses on modern, environmentally friendly energy projects. The group describes itself as an investment group aimed at capital appreciation through investments in modern energy projects that are gentle on the environment, and it operates exclusively in line with responsible-investing principles. Its stated mission is to capture the energy hidden in waste — material that society today largely perceives as an ecological burden — and return it to circulation with the smallest possible environmental footprint. The EFG group's activities span three connected areas: investment, ecology and energy. On the energy side it concentrates on renewable energy sources and biomethane production. Through its biowaste platform, EFG Green Gas arranges the collection and recycling of gastro-waste (food waste) for Czech municipalities and companies, and from this biodegradable waste it produces electricity, biomethane and heat with a minimal carbon footprint. A parallel biomass power-plant activity generates electricity and heat from biomass that continually regrows in nature. The group frames the convergence of the energy industry and waste management as inevitable given rising energy consumption and rising waste production, and presents its business as having long-term value, especially for future generations. EFG Green Gas sits alongside other entities in the group, including EFG Acquisitions & development a.s., a Prague-registered company established on 30 May 2022 with registered capital of CZK 2,000,000, which is used for acquisitions and project development and through which the group has issued green bonds and published growth prospectuses. The group has been active in capital markets: a Union Growth Prospectus approved by the Czech National Bank on 10 November 2020 expired on 11 November 2021, and the public offering of ENERGY FINANCIAL GROUP 26 I bonds (ISIN CZ0003525545) ended on the same day; a bondholders' meeting on 4 November 2021 approved an extension of the subscription period to 8 November 2022. In 2023 the group published a Green Bond Framework and final terms for CZK and EUR issues. In the biomethane market, EFG reported a notable milestone: in the Czech Republic's first auction for operational support for biomethane, announced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, EFG succeeded with all three of its submitted projects and obtained a state-guaranteed purchase price for 15 years. The group presents itself as a young team working at the intersection of energy and waste, and its public materials are published in Czech and Slovak, indicating a focus on the Czech and Slovak markets.

EFG Green Gas is the renewable-energy and biomethane brand of the EFG Energy financial group a.s., a Czech investment group headquartered in Prague. The group presents itself as an investment group focused on capital appreciation through investments in modern energy projects that are environmentally friendly, and it states that it does business exclusively in accordance with the principles of responsible investing. Its activities are organized around three themes: investment, ecology and energy, with energy focused on renewable sources and biomethane production. The group's operating logic is the convergence of the energy industry and waste management. EFG argues that rising energy consumption and rising waste production make this link inevitable, and that waste — widely seen as an ecological burden — contains a large amount of unused energy. Its mission is to capture that energy and return it to circulation with minimal environmental impact. To that end, the group collects and recycles gastro-waste for Czech municipalities and companies through a dedicated platform, and produces electricity, biomethane and heat from biodegradable waste with a minimal carbon footprint. It also operates biomass power plants that generate electricity and heat from continuously regrowing biomass. Corporate development has run in parallel with project development. EFG Acquisitions & development a.s. was established on 30 May 2022, registered at Jihlavská 1558/21, Michle, 140 00 Praha 4, with company identification number 171 91 521 and registered capital of CZK 2,000,000, entered in the Commercial Register kept by the Municipal Court in Prague under file B 27323. This entity serves as a vehicle for acquisitions and development and is associated with the group's capital-markets activity. That capital-markets activity is documented on the group's investor pages. A Union Growth Prospectus approved by the Czech National Bank on 10 November 2020 expired on 11 November 2021, and the public offering of ENERGY FINANCIAL GROUP 26 I bonds (ISIN CZ0003525545) ended on the same date. On 4 November 2021 an ordinary and then substitute meeting of the bondholders of ENERGY FINANCIAL GROUP 26 I approved a change to the issue conditions set out in the prospectus, extending the subscription period for the bonds to 8 November 2022; a notarial record of the meeting was made. In 2023 the group published a Green Bond Framework (in Czech and Slovak), audit reports for 2022, a Czech National Bank decision approving a prospectus, a Union Growth Prospectus, and final terms for CZK and EUR issues. Accounting statements for periods including 12/2024, 6/2023, 6/2025 and 12/2023 are also published. In the biomethane market, EFG reported a significant milestone: the Czech Republic's first auction for operational support for biomethane, announced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, produced results, and EFG succeeded with all three of its submitted projects, obtaining a state-guaranteed purchase price for 15 years. The group describes itself as a team of young people working on businesses with long-term benefits, particularly for future generations.
