We turn local waste into circular, long-duration energy storage using AI-driven advanced material selection and gas capture, purification and storage systems.
Planck Technologies is a Norwegian deep-tech startup developing advanced materials and optimized gas capture, purification and storage systems to unlock circular, long-duration energy storage. By combining computational chemistry, AI-driven screening, and system modeling, we select the most promising porous materials candidates from families like MOFs and COFs tailored for hydrogen, biogas, and CO₂ capture, purification and storage. Our core mission is to make renewable energy competitive by transforming underused local waste streams into efficient, dispatchable energy carriers. We focus on “circular energy integration: valorising local waste streams for industrial efficiency” by: Upgrading biogas and industrial off-gases using advanced sorbents to recover energy-rich components (e.g. methane, hydrogen) and capture CO₂ for reuse. Designing gas handling systems that operate at milder pressures and temperatures, reducing energy demand and infrastructure needs for industrial users. Co-optimizing materials, tank design, and system integration to maximize lifecycle efficiency, safety, and economic viability for local energy ecosystems. We collaborate with leading research institutes and industrial partners to test our materials in real adsorption and gas handling systems. As an early-stage company with strong industry experience, we are actively seeking: Industrial partners with local waste streams (biogas plants, process industries, hydrogen producers) interested in valorization and energy storage. Regional stakeholders and innovation hubs working on circular energy projects who need expertise within advanced materials, modeling, and techno-economic assessment. Consortia for RIVCircular cascade funding focused on circular energy integration, where we can contribute deep-tech gas capture, purification and storage solutions. Through RIVCircular, we aim to co-develop demonstrators that prove how smart gas handling can turn local waste streams into flexible, low-carbon energy for industry, strengthening regional innovation valleys and accelerating the circular economy.
