About Utonomy
Utonomy is a pioneering UK-based technology company that develops intelligent pressure control solutions for gas distribution networks. The company's vision is to create a sustainable future where energy is more affordable, more secure, and has less impact on the climate. Their products and cloud-based solutions help gas utilities improve pressure control, optimise feed-in of non-conventional gases such as biomethane, and monitor their networks.
Utonomy's flagship UtonomyOne system brings together cloud-based software with innovative control hardware to create smarter networks that provide emission reduction, greater operational efficiency, and capex reduction. The company's unique solution can be retrofitted to existing network equipment quickly and easily without high capital investment.
Utonomy has secured major contracts with leading gas distribution companies, including SGN, which currently has 42 biomethane plants connected to its networks, providing sufficient biomethane capacity to supply the equivalent of 320,000 domestic households and saving approximately 673,000 tCO2e annually. The company has also expanded internationally, with projects in North America focused on reducing methane emissions across utility networks.
