3 CHOREN 1. CHOREN company key figures German gasification technology company First Mover in BTL-Technology: Gasification / Fischer Tropsch Established out of the former DBI after the German reunification (1990) 300 Employees (May 2009) Private company, partnership with Daimler and VW since Oct 2007, total < 50%, Capital employed > 180 Mio. Located in Germany (Freiberg & Hamburg), China and USA Continuous non-laboratory 100% BTL production facility (2003) Commercial BTL demonstration facility (2010) Patented Carbo-V process
