What is Daphne Technology?
Based in Switzerland, Daphne Technology specializes in the development of advanced engineering solutions designed to eliminate methane emissions from gas-powered engines. The company's core technology targets methane slip—the unburned fuel that escapes during the combustion process—which is a potent greenhouse gas. By integrating its systems into existing maritime and industrial infrastructure, Daphne Technology enables operators to meet increasingly stringent international emissions regulations while simultaneously improving fuel efficiency. The company operates at the intersection of climate-tech and heavy industry, providing a vital service for sectors that are historically difficult to decarbonize.
