ATOBA energy solves the financial dilemma between the airlines and the new technology Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) producers in order to accelerate aviations path to net zero emissions. As we turn complex energy financing challenges into concrete and achievable commitments, we’re defining the way sustainable aviation fuel will scale.

The verification of electrical errors at chip-level has always been the missing step in chip design closure – even though a chip is, basically, a very large circuit. The complexity of such an analysis has so far made it impossible. Consequently, considerable effort is made throughout the design processes to avoid electrical errors from occurring in the first place. Experience, however, shows that without a verification solution dedicated to the analysis of electrical circuits at the chip scale, some errors elude the vigilance of design engineers, even with the most comprehensive design flows. Those errors have severe consequences, ranging from delays in the project schedule (thus increasing its cost), failed time-to-market and in the worst case, product recalls (and the major financial impact as well as brand image impact this can imply). Aniah has developed a radically new algorithm that enables an electrically accurate, full-chip analysis at transistor-level. It introduces a new paradigm for verification with a tool that is both intuitive and comprehensive, delivering on its promise of a full coverage of electrical errors.

Waga Energy upgrades landfill gas into grid-compliant Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), also known as “biomethane”. Thanks to its patented WAGABOX® technology, Waga Energy recovers the methane emitted by the breakdown of organic matter contained in the waste to inject it directly into the gas grid. The result of ten years of R&D within Air Liquide and Waga Energy, the WAGABOX® technology combines membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation to separate the methane from the other components of the landfill gas. It provides high-quality biomethane that is injected directly into the gas grid. The purification units are fully automated, they operate 24/7 while being under remote computerized supervision. Waga Energy deploys this solution through a dedicated business model. Waga Energy purchases landfill gas from landfill site operators, funds the construction and operation of WAGABOX® units, and sales biomethane to energy utilities. 23 WAGABOX® units are in operation in the world, combined, they have produced over 100,000,000 Nm3 of RNG. 13 more WAGABOX® units are under construction in France, Spain and Canada. Since 2017, all the WAGABOX® units have avoided the emission of 190,000 tons of eqCO2 in the atmosphere. Waga Energys headquarters are located in Grenoble (France), a world-renowned center for high-tech innovation with a reputation for leadership in gas engineering and cryogenics. Waga Energy also has subsidiaries in the United States, Canada and Spain.
