The Navarra Industry Association (AIN), in collaboration with 11 partners, has launched the ambitious European CARMA-H2 project . Funded by the European Union, this initiative aims to convert waste into green hydrogen, thus supporting the energy transition and decarbonisation in Europe .
Energy efficiency with CARMA-H2 in Navarra
The project is being carried out at the Arazuri treatment plant in Navarra, where the technology developed will enable the direct production of renewable, purified and pressurised hydrogen . A highlight is that, in addition to generating clean hydrogen, CARMA-H2 will also recover food-grade CO₂ through liquefaction, supporting the circular economy. Efficient waste gas management underlines the commitment to sustainable solutions and maximising energy efficiency.
CARMA-H2 will introduce an integrated modular reactor , transforming the traditional waste conversion process. Instead of the usual six steps, it will be executed in a single operation, significantly increasing energy efficiency. This advancement is essential to optimize the use of biogas in local communities, making the production of renewable hydrogen in smaller plants viable.
Biogas as a key in the fight against climate change
Biogas, a key source in Europe’s fight against climate change , is harnessed here to minimise CO₂ emissions. As the European Union strives to reduce net emissions to zero by 2050 , projects such as CARMA-H2 offer innovative and practical solutions, benefiting both the environment and the local economy.
This project will allow us to validate the technical feasibility of an innovative technology that promises to be a game-changer in sustainable hydrogen production.”
Nancy Tarjenian Astour, project coordinator and director of Technology Business Development at AIN, highlighted
With a duration of 48 months, the CARMA-H2 consortium is committed to advancing hydrogen production and CO₂ recovery technology, promoting a resilient and low -carbon energy future.
