Amidst a world grappling with climate change, pollution, and energy inequality, Cenergy Solutions stands at the forefront of a groundbreaking movement. Specializing in Adsorbed Biogas (ABG) systems, the company is helping to bring natural and biogas energy solutions to communities that have long struggled with energy access. Whether it’s for vehicles, heating, cooking, or electrical generation, Cenergy’s technology is poised to address some of the most pressing environmental and energy challenges.

Founded in 2012 in California, Cenergy Solutions has evolved into a global leader in energy storage, focusing on making biogas more accessible and practical for everyday use. The company’s founders, a mix of scientists and industry veterans, recognized the inefficiencies in the modern energy sector – both in terms of its environmental impact and its failure to provide affordable energy to underserved populations. This dual challenge fueled their mission to develop cutting-edge biogas systems that promote energy independence while reducing pollution.
Even today, billions of people around the world, especially in developing countries, rely on solid fuels like wood and coal for cooking and heating. The toxic emissions from burning these fuels contribute to many premature deaths, mostly among women and children. In countries like Nigeria, forests are depleted as people cut down trees to sustain daily cooking needs. This has also led to deforestation, significantly impacting both the environment and ultimately humans.
“We wanted to tackle these inefficiencies for both the environment and human health,” says Gary Fanger, CEO of Cenergy. “The cost of relying on outdated energy sources is simply too high, and we have found the solution.”
Cenergy Solutions’ core innovation lies in their Adsorbed Biogas (ABG) technology. ABG allows methane to be stored at much lower pressures than traditional compressed natural gas (CNG) systems. This breakthrough comes from utilizing activated carbon, a material capable of absorbing methane molecules like a sponge. This method enables the company to store 3-6 times more fuel at lower pressures, making the storage and transportation of methane not only safer but also significantly more cost-effective.
The ABG system has the potential to convert methane, often flared or vented at biogas plants, farms, landfills, and oil wells, into a usable energy source. This is especially crucial given that methane is a greenhouse gas, being 84 times more potent on a 20-year timescale. “We’re capturing what was previously wasted and turning it into a resource for communities that need it most,” Gary adds.
The company’s reach is growing steadily, with projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In Nigeria, Cenergy Solutions, in partnership with a local industry leader, has a project underway with the aim to distribute systems that replace wood and coal with a cleaner, more sustainable energy source. In Laos, the company is working to capture methane from digesters that have been venting gas into the atmosphere for years, converting it into usable energy for local communities.
Even in India, where regulatory approval for their cylinders is pending, the company is poised to make a huge impact. The situation is similar in Egypt, where Cenergy’s absorbed natural gas cylinders will help to reduce the flaring of natural gas from oil wells, turning waste into a resource that can be distributed directly to homes.
In Thailand, Cenergy Solutions has offices, manufacturing facilities, as well as distribution warehouses, where they’re distributing their systems throughout the world. The company has several systems in operation where they are able to provide cleaner cooking solutions, thereby reducing the respiratory illnesses caused by inhaling smoke from wood and coal fires.
ABG technology doesn’t just provide clean energy; it also offers a cost-effective solution for farmers, biomethane plants, sewage plants, and landfills that would otherwise release methane into the air. By storing methane safely and economically, Cenergy Solutions’ systems help communities reduce their carbon footprint while also gaining access to a reliable and sustainable energy source.
The benefits extend beyond just the environment and health. In many cases, families and businesses that switch to biogas from LPG have reported significant savings. In Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world, Cenergy Solutions’ biogas systems have reduced monthly cooking costs by more than sixty percent for some families.
Cenergy Solutions truly represents a vital piece of the puzzle in solving the global energy crisis. By capturing wasted methane while providing it as a clean, affordable energy source, they are not only helping to reduce pollution but also improving the lives of millions of people. The company is now seeking investment and partnerships to scale their operations further and bring their technology to even more communities in need.
Definitely, with its patented technology, proven applications, and a growing list of international projects, Cenergy Solutions is poised to lead the world in biogas innovation.
