Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, August 1, 2022 – SFC Energy AG (F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading supplier of hydrogen and methanol fuel cells for stationary and mobile hybrid power solutions, and ehret+klein Capital Markets GmbH agree on an early lease extension for another five years.
The lease is now structured as a sustainability-focused green lease. This means that the tenant is required, among other things, to reduce waste and emissions, save energy and water, promote and use renewable energies. The original contract, which would have regularly expired in March 2025, has thus been replaced.
The contract relates to the property at Eugen-Sänger-Ring 7, built in 2009, which SFC Energy uses as its corporate headquarter. The fuel cell company uses the entire available office, warehouse and production space of around 6,700 m2.
“We are very pleased that we were able to transfer the lease with SFC Energy into a long-term green lease. This reveals the quality and location of our property and indicates that we are able to attract well-known tenants for our assets on a long-term basis, especially in an uncertain market phase,” says Dr. Nicolas Kohl, Managing Director of ehret+klein Capital Markets.
Sustainable property use
Based on its products and markets alone, SFC Energy has been actively contributing to the worldwide decarbonization and global race-to-zero for years. Its production takes place within the framework of resource-conserving and environmentally conscious business operations at the company’s headquarter in Brunnthal, which the fuel cell supplier ensured even before the conclusion of the green lease. The DIN ISO 14001 certification confirms this. Examples of sustainable measures already implemented include water-based building cooling, which is installed in the building walls and replaces a conventional air conditioning system that pollutes the environment, and in-house energy recovery, for which electric energy generated during production and at the test site is fed back into the building grid. Measures as part of the newly agreed green lease include the expansion of an e-charging station infrastructure, the installation of a solar power system, and the conversion of all building lighting to LED.
The site is used sustainably from both an ecological and an economic perspective. The Brunnthal headquarter is a strategically important location, which since 2009 has brought together key corporate areas such as production, research and development, and management in a common building. Located in the southeastern part of the Munich district, the headquarter of the fuel cell pioneer is attractive to a large number of professionals with a wide range of educational backgrounds.
