Tackling tough emissions challenges

Dr Mario Michan, Founder and CEO of Daphne Technology

2 min read

To limit the worst outcomes of climate change, the world needs to constrain the global temperature increase to well below 2°C.
Daphne Technology is helping the planet stay on track. The Switzerland-based company's award-winning solutions remove carbon and toxic emissions from exhaust gas, break down pollutants and convert them into harmless byproducts.
The company's clients can either release the byproducts safely into the environment or convert them into valuable products, such as fertilizers and fuel. In other words, clients get the opportunity to reduce their environmental footprint, operate sustainably and make money from the converted emissions.
Daphne Technology focuses on tough-to-decarbonize industries such as maritime and land-based energy.
Dr Mario Michan founded Daphne Technology in 2018 to make a meaningful difference in the fight against climate change. Before launching the company, he was a research scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, and served as an officer in the Colombian Navy. Dr Michan holds a PhD in physics from the University of British Columbia; a post-graduate diploma in entrepreneurship; and an executive master's in business administration and management.
