Transforming Infrastructure for the Hydrogen Economy: Arculus Solutions and Ayrton Energy at CERAWeek

The clean energy transition isn’t just about new technologies—it’s also about adapting and optimizing existing infrastructure for a low-carbon future. That’s exactly what Arculus Iand Ayrton Energy are doing, and at Texas Innovates we’re proud to support their venture growth through our flagship Incubator program – CHILI.

🔹 Arculus specializes in natural gas pipeline upgrading, enabling existing pipeline networks to safely transport hydrogen and CO₂. Their technology is a critical bridge to repurposing infrastructure for the energy transition, reducing the need for costly new buildouts while accelerating deployment.

🔹 Ayrton Energy is advancing liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) to solve hydrogen’s transport and storage challenges, making it easier to move hydrogen over long distances safely and efficiently.

Through CHILI’s incubator program, these innovators gain access to:
✅ Technical resources for development and validation
✅ Industry partnerships to scale their solutions
✅ Investment networks to accelerate commercialization

Retrofitting pipelines for hydrogen and CO₂ transport while improving hydrogen mobility solutions is a game-changer for the energy industry. With the right innovations and collaborations, we can unlock a more connected, efficient, and sustainable hydrogen economy.
