Hygen

Area of interest: Sustainable mobility Description: Hygen is a technology startup focused on sustainable gas-based mobility, developing innovative solutions for the refueling of compressed natural gas and biomethane (CNG/bio-CNG) vehicles. Its patented decentralized gas compression technology allows refueling stations to be installed anywhere connected to the gas distribution network, promoting the expansion of the carbon-neutral vehicle market powered by biomethane.

The use of CNG in transportation helps improve air quality and move towards more sustainable mobility, reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 80–90%, sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions by almost 100%, and CO₂ emissions by up to 30% compared to traditional fuels.
