Innovation
ARPA has established itself as an innovative leader in the development and application of hydrogen-based solutions, with a firm commitment to driving the global energy transition. Over the past few years, the company has implemented a series of technological advances and pioneering projects that place it at the forefront of the hydrogen industry, comprehensively addressing the energy and environmental challenges of the present and the future.
One of ARPA's main areas of innovation is the design and manufacture of modular hydrogen generation, storage and dispensing systems, adapted to both industrial needs and sustainable mobility. With a holistic approach, the company has developed infrastructures capable of generating green hydrogen through electrolysis, powered by photovoltaic solar energy, maximising the use of energy surpluses and guaranteeing a completely emission-free hydrogen supply.
The high-flow hydrogen dispensers designed by ARPA, with the capacity to operate at pressures of up to 900 bar, are a clear example of the company's innovative capacity. These devices not only allow for the fast and efficient recharging of vehicles, but are also key in the implementation of hydrogen-based urban mobility solutions, such as the hydrogen-powered bus lines that are already operating in Spanish cities.
Furthermore, ARPA is developing and applying fuel cell technology for the electrification of facilities and the optimisation of industrial processes. From the integration of hydrogen in the electrification of offices and industrial centres to the use of residual heat from generation processes for heating and other applications, ARPA has proven to be a pioneer in the adoption of energy solutions that improve operational efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint.
Another fundamental aspect of ARPA's innovation is its focus on research and development of technologies related to hydrogen compression and storage. Thanks to their expertise, they have designed high-pressure hydrogen storage systems that maximise safety and distribution capacity, making hydrogen a viable and efficient option for various applications.
With projects such as the construction of hydrogen generation plants for hospitals, which integrate the production of green hydrogen and medical oxygen, ARPA continues to expand the frontiers of hydrogen use, demonstrating its commitment not only to environmental sustainability, but also to the improvement of critical infrastructures such as the health sector.
ZEM
With the ZEM, ZEROENERGYMOD, ARPA is developing and manufacturing, as part of a project of the EU LIFE programme, the world's first transportable housing module under the Passivhaus standard, self-sufficient and with zero emissions and green hydrogen support. Certified for all four climate zones, including Antarctica.
