WHAT
Enabling affordable green hydrogen
Arda Energy deliver small scale green hydrogen projects alongside EPC contractors to project developers based on our property technology.
Whether you handle large quantities of bio resources, produce biogas or need hydrogen or CO2, reach out to us for profitable and climate-positive solutions. Together, we develop sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels – providing hydrogen for high-carbon industries, freight, and mobility sectors, while also utilizing green CO2.
Arda Energy has developed a cost-leading, modular technology that turns biogas and biomethane into green hydrogen for plant sizes ranging from 0.1 to 10 tons hydrogen per day. Our system integrates with existing biogas infrastructure, dramatically lowering the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) and enabling decentralized production.
Arda Energy is not waiting for the hydrogen economy to arrive — we’re enabling it today, by rethinking how it starts.
Arda Energy first product, the Arda SparkTM piloted in 2020 – 2023, is ready for the market. Arda SparkTM (0.1 – 0.5 tons hydrogen per day) allows production of green hydrogen, green CO2 and heat in an integrated system from biogas feedstock, maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing cost.
Arda LightTM (2 – 10 tons hydrogen per day) is ready for first industrial deployment in the market. Arda LightTM is fully based on Arda SparkTM system design, components and technology.
