Lohne, July 1, 2010 - Europe's sector leader in the construction of biogas
plants, EnviTec Biogas, has appointed a new Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
With the beginning of July, Jürgen Tenbrink succeeds biogas pioneer and
company founder Kunibert Ruhe, who is staying on as a consultant to the
Group. 'I am pleased about the confidence that has been placed in me, and I
will aim to bring EnviTec Biogas further forward,' commented 44-year-old
Tenbrink.

Tenbrink looks back on more than 20 years of plant engineering experience.
Following undergraduate supply engineering studies with a focus on local
authority and environmental technology, the applied sciences graduate
started his career in the early 1990s at a Koblenz-based engineering office
where he conducted project work in landfill gas technology plants. From
1991 to 1997, Tenbrink was director for process technology for waste air
and waste removal at Geo Tec GmbH in Greven, and was responsible for
aerobic process technology at waste plant constructor Schwarting Uhde from
1997 until 2000. Before becoming a technical director at EnviTec in 2002,
Tenbrink held the position of departmental head for biogas at EnviTec-Mall
Umweltsysteme GmbH, where he played a decisive role in helping to create
the biogas segment.
Tenbrink, who was born in Westphalia/Germany, is now responsible for
project processing, research and development, purchasing and quality
assurance at the Management Board of EnviTec Biogas AG. 'I would like to
concentrate on strengthening the company within my business areas. This
also includes expanding our technology leadership, and our headstart in
terms of know-how.' Tenbrink also aims to push ahead with the
standardization of biogas plant construction in order to enhance efficiency
within the Group.

Having been active as a technical director since the company was founded,
Tenbrink has already accomplished significant development and expansion
work at EnviTec Biogas over the past eight years. 'We are glad that the
continuity within the Group has been secured with the appointment of Jürgen
Tenbrink. As an experienced expert in biogas plant technology, Tenbrink
will make decisive contributions to continue our success story,' commented
Olaf von Lehmden, CEO of EnviTec Biogas AG.

Tenbrink is married, has two grown-up sons, and lives in Steinfurt. With
his experience in the planning and technical further development of biogas
plants, he is in demand as a speaker, for instance at meetings of the
German Association of Engineers (VDI). Over the last few years, he has also
developed quality criteria for biogas plants within working groups of the
VDI and the German Engineering Federation (VDMA).
