Obrist Group Licenses Key Patents for Sustainable Energy Solutions
Target markets: energy sector, automotive industry including suppliers, aerospace, shipping, chemical industry, packaging industry, and battery manufacturing
Lindau/Germany, Lustenau/Austria – October 30 2024 – With over 252 filed and 128 granted patents worldwide, the German-Austrian Obrist Group ranks among the leading global innovators in sustainable energy concepts. The intellectual property portfolio, organised into 81 patent families, spans a wide range of technologies—from electric vehicles with ranges exceeding 1,000 kilometres to synthetic fuels and large-scale facilities for converting solar energy into hydrogen and methanol. This broad scope also reflects the diverse target markets for potential licensees, which include the energy sector, automotive industry (including suppliers), aerospace, shipping, chemical industry, packaging, and battery manufacturing.
Unlike many other technology companies that primarily use their patents for proprietary products, the Obrist Group positions itself expressly as a licensor for companies seeking to leverage its patent pool for their own products, machinery, and systems—ranging from vehicle powertrains to methanol production facilities. Thorsten Rixmann, Chief Marketing Officer of the industrial group, shares concrete examples: “The maritime sector aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, primarily through the use of methanol. Aviation is planning a shift to Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), with methanol projected to account for up to 70 percent by 2050. In the automotive sector, there is a growing recognition that hybrid vehicles with electric motors and compact power generators—rather than heavy battery blocks—represent the future. Conventional power plants are increasingly integrating renewable energy, while thermal power plants remain crucial for baseload electricity. The Obrist Group holds key patents for all of these developments, providing companies in these industries with the tools to adapt more quickly and effectively to these market shifts.”
Obrist Group: The Obrist Group, founded by inventor and entrepreneur Frank Obrist, focuses on innovations for global, sustainable and CO2-reducing energy concepts. The spectrum ranges from the global supply of renewable energies to atmospheric fuels (aFuels) and innovative CO2-negative (i.e. climate-positive!) drive concepts for the automotive industry. With around 380 key patents, the Obrist Group is one of the world's most important innovators in the field of sustainable energy concepts.
