Overview

CATAGEN is a Belfast based climate technology company developing engineering solutions that support decarbonisation in high emission industries. Its work focuses on helping organisations test and validate low-carbon technologies more efficiently, supporting the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), hydrogen systems, e-fuels and emissions technologies.

Challenge 

Reducing emissions in hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as aviation, shipping and heavy industry remains one of the biggest challenges in achieving Net Zero. These industries rely on high-energy-density fuels and complex infrastructure that cannot be easily electrified. Developing and validating alternative technologies is often expensive and time-consuming, slowing the transition to cleaner energy systems.

Approach

CATAGEN has developed technologies that help manufacturers accelerate testing and validation of low-carbon solutions while reducing development costs. Its proprietary OMEGA e-Reactor™ platform enables catalyst ageing and emissions testing to be completed significantly faster than conventional methods. 

Alongside this, the company supports the development of hydrogen technologies, sustainable aviation fuels and e-fuels that can help reduce emissions.

Outcome

The company's technologies enable manufacturers to validate products more quickly, support emissions compliance and shorten development programmes for low-carbon technologies.

Since 2017, the company reports that its testing technologies have helped displace more than 1,100 tonnes of carbon through improvements in automotive catalyst development.

Why it matters

By accelerating technology validation, reducing development risk and enabling the adoption of sustainable fuels and hydrogen solutions, CATAGEN helps organisations operating in hard-to-decarbonise sectors transition to a lower-carbon future faster.
