Strong Partnerships to Grow Synergies and Success
Partnerships play an essential role in today's business environment. As partners, companies can pool their strengths and achieve greater success together. Different factors decide whether they succeed in their collaboration or not. Mutual trust and reliability are only two of them.
At SAMSON, we are pleased to have established a strong partnership with our customer SYNCRAFT: growing from the first thin roots put down in 2009, our bond has become more robust over the years by strengthening it with quality and expertise.
About SYNCRAFT
SYNCRAFT is an Austrian green tech company based in Tyrol. It was founded in 2009 as a spin-off from the MCI Innsbruck University of Applied Sciences. SYNCRAFT is a leader in the innovative production of renewable energy, including green carbon. Their reverse power plants generate affordable green energy and achieve negative emissions (minus CO₂). More than 40 of their climate-positive reverse power plants have already been built all across the world.
SYNCRAFT's resource-friendly technology uses valuable forest residues (such as wood chips) to generate renewable heat, electricity, green gas and green carbon. The valuable green carbon is a key element of defossilization: the substitution of fossil carbon with renewable alternatives. At the same time, SYNCRAFT drives decarbonization not only by preventing CO₂ emissions, it also actively removes CO₂ from the atmosphere with its negative emissions technology. The company's mission is to implement maximum efficiency and prime quality to create a climate-positive future.
About SAMSON
SAMSON is a global leader in products and systems designed to control media in the process industry. For over 115 years, SAMSON has developed and manufactured innovative valves and automation solutions used in a wide variety of industries. SAMSON is committed to the United Nations Global Compact, which – among other things – involves having an environmental protection agenda. Consequently, SAMSON offers solutions that focus on sustainability and net zero emissions. Smart valves and automation systems by SAMSON allow for the precise control and monitoring of processes, which results in the efficient use of resources and fewer emissions. In addition, SAMSON is developing solutions for carbon capture and storage (CCS): decisive steps on the path to climate neutrality.
What does 'net zero' mean?
Net zero is understood as the state when human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of such gases being removed from the atmosphere are in balance. This means that the residual emissions must be absorbed, for example through reforestation or CCS. A huge effort must be made to achieve climate neutrality through lower emissions, particularly in the steel, cement and transportation industries for example where decarbonization is hard to implement.
Considerable investments must be made in new technologies and innovations. This includes renewable energy from wind and solar, which are available at increasingly lower prices, as well as decarbonization technologies for hard-to-electrify industries.
All in all, getting to net zero emissions is a complex, challenging goal that calls for global collaboration and innovation. Cutting back emissions and developing new technical solutions can help us create a more sustainable future and limit the effects of climate change.
Partnership with strong roots
2009 was a year of historical events. Progress was made in climate research and renewable energy. For example, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) was founded that year. IRENA is an intergovernmental organization to support the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy.
SYNCRAFT was also founded in 2009, developing the first roots for the strong, flourishing partnership with SAMSON that – like a tree – has grown stronger and stronger over the years.
SYNCRAFT has become a major player in its market, which continues to grow as the worldwide awareness for minus CO₂, green carbon and climate positive technologies evolves. Another element that nurtured the partnership is that both companies are innovators and pioneers in their respective fields who drive scientific research to generate technical progress. Together, they can define the benchmark for sustainable energy and smart control systems.
Trust-building projects
Over the years, there have been plenty of opportunities for the partners to celebrate their international success together: SYNCRAFT has sold its technology in the neighboring regions (including Switzerland, South Tyrol and other parts of Austria) and is currently planning to complete a project in the USA. So, a reverse power plant may soon be started up in California.
The largest SYNCRAFT reverse power plant is located in Switzerland. Check out its key features:
