Technology concept/solution:
Arda Energy's solution is a system that uses biogas as energy supply. The biogas is used to produce hydrogen, electricity and heat. The process also results in clean CO₂, readily captured for commercial applications or storage. By converting biogas into both hydrogen and electricity, the energy utilization is better than if the biogas alone was used as fuel.

Arda Energy, previously known as Agri-e, has developed and tested two modular energy system solutions in their pilot project for increased energy efficiency: System 1, biogas to hydrogen and heat. System 2, biogas to hydrogen, electricity, and heat. The pilot systems are scaled down industrial solution working 24/7.

Arda is focusing on decentralized production of clean energy and utilization of the green CO₂ with positive climate results, energy efficiency (80%), flexibility, security, and increased local value creation. Their upcoming large-scale pilot project will provide the basis for scaling-up and commercial deliveries from 2025.
