We don't burn waste.
We deconstruct it.
Patent-pending plasma gasification turns the planet's most problematic waste streams — municipal, plastics, tires, hazardous, biomedical, oil sludge — into 99.9% pure green hydrogen. Validated by BARC, IIT Roorkee, and CSIR-CMERI. 80+ R&D installations. Zero dioxins. Zero furans.
The world has two problems.
Problem A · Energy Gap
Everyone is building data centres for AI.
No one is generating enough green electricity to power them.
Frontier AI workloads, hyperscale cloud expansion, and grid electrification of transport are all pulling in the same direction: enormous, sustained demand for clean, dispatchable power. Existing wind and solar pipelines won't close the gap fast enough.
- Hyperscale demand growing 2–3x faster than green build-out
- Grid interconnection queues 4–7 years in major markets
- Hydrogen as carrier — storage, transport, peaking — under-built
Problem B · Waste Crisis
2+ billion metric tons of MSW
generated annually.
Toxic leachates, methane plumes from open dumps, dioxin-and-furan emissions from incineration. The cost of producing waste is rising every year; the cost of disposing of it, faster. Regulators are tightening — bulk generators in India, the GCC, and the EU are running out of compliant options.
- Methane from landfills — 20% of human-caused emissions, near-term warming worse than CO₂
- Incineration creates dioxins / furans — Stockholm Convention POPs
- Mixed-stream MSW resists recycling; <30% diversion globally
Two problems. One technology that solves both.
We have a patent-pending solution.

Syngas Composition (Post-Decomposition)
Proven efficacy across diverse waste streams.
| Waste Type | Power In (kW/hr) | Power Out (kW/hr) | Net Power (kW/hr) | Syngas (m³/hr) | Slag (kg/hr) | MW / ton |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSW · 20% moisture | 35 | 66 | 31 | ~65 | ~130 | ~0.7 |
| Plastics | 30 | 120 | 90 | ~118 | ~60 | ~2.1 |
| Hazardous Waste* | 105 | 52 | −53* | ~51 | ~100 | ~1.0 |
| Tires | 20 | 98 | 78 | ~97 | ~120 | ~1.8 |
| Oil Sludge | 32 | 125 | 93 | ~126 | ~63 | ~2.2 |
| Biomedical | 20 | 80 | 64 | ~87 | ~80 | ~1.6 |
* Hazardous Waste net power is negative because of the high energy input required for full molecular decomposition. This is expected and acceptable — the value of the process for hazardous streams is in safe destruction and material recovery, not power generation.
A clear technological advantage.

Regulation is not a tax. It is the moat.
The same rules that make legacy waste-handling more expensive make Ardana's compliant alternative the only viable path forward. Two jurisdictions are leading the way.
India
SWM Rules 2026 create a captive market on April 1, 2026.
- Apr 1 '26Strict bans on landfilling unsegregated MSW; bulk waste generators face mandatory diversion targets.
- EBWGRExtended-Bulk-Waste-Generator Regulations require certified treatment partnerships — Ardana plants qualify as primary destination.
- CaptiveMunicipalities + state pollution boards become structural offtake partners. No customer acquisition cost.
GCC
Sovereign net-zero pledges turn diversion into a fiscal priority.
- UAE75% waste-diversion target by 2030. Federal-level circular-economy investment alongside sovereign wealth allocations.
- KSA3 GW of waste-to-energy capacity targeted under Vision 2030. PIF + NEOM as cornerstone investors.
- Net Zero 2050Region-wide pledges combined with carbon-credit pricing tailwinds → green hydrogen offtake economics that work without subsidy.
