Duat Energy was established through the Avatar Innovations Incubator Program and progressed through Avatar Ignite, Studio, and the Ventures program in 2022.

 The company's founders aimed to rejuvenate abandoned wells that previously produced natural gas and oil. Their innovative approach harnesses natural processes to generate renewable natural gas (RNG) by injecting waste biomass and microbes into the wells. Utilizing geothermal energy, Duat Energy accelerates underground anaerobic digestion to produce RNG.

Local sourcing of waste biomass near the well locations reduces transport costs and carbon intensity. The company strives to achieve carbon-neutral or negative gas production. Once generated, the gas undergoes upgrading to meet pipeline quality standards. Potential reinjection of waste CO2 further reduces the carbon footprint.

The name "Duat" symbolizes the Egyptian underworld, representing the company's mission to revitalize inactive subsurface wells.

 Duat Energy stands at the forefront of sustainability, working towards a greener future by providing environmentally conscious solutions in the renewable energy sector.

Since the Avatar demo day, Duat Energy has successfully incorporated and is actively pursuing its mission to bring RNG to the marketplace. Leveraging their extensive experience in the oil, gas, and renewables sector, coupled with the invaluable support of Avatar as a partner, the team is making significant strides in turning their vision into reality. 

Currently, Duat Energy is focused on refining its technology roadmap and conducting rigorous laboratory testing. In parallel, the company is seeking funds and grants to initiate the site selection process for a forthcoming pilot well test. The future looks promising as Duat Energy continues its journey towards sustainable energy solutions.
