autarkize develops containerized system technology that converts biogenic residues—such as waste wood, shells, and fermentation by-products—into renewable synthesis gas (methane and hydrogen) and certified biochar. Each plant can sequester between 1,400 and 5,500 tons of CO2 annually and generate up to 10 GWh of renewable energy; systems are standardized in sea containers with capacity up to 2.5 megawatts. The produced gas is intended to substitute fossil fuels in industrial heat and steam applications, while the biochar acts as a CO2 sink and can be used in agriculture and construction. autarkize's containerized units can be integrated with existing biogas plants and industrial applications and are positioned to decarbonize local and district heating networks. The company closed a €2.3 million seed funding round to accelerate expansion, especially in biogas technology and heat and steam production. The financing and standardized, scalable systems are intended to enable large-scale launches of autarkize's solutions to create customer value and contribute to climate protection.
