## About

Founded in 2018 by Mario Michan in Vaud, Switzerland, Daphne Technology SA specializes in advanced technologies for reducing methane emissions. In April 2026, Daphne Technology SA raised CHF 15 million in venture funding led by Taranis Investment, with participation from Shell Ventures and Trafigura. As of July 2026, Jamie Brick is the interim CEO of the company.

Daphne Technology specializes in advanced methane emission reduction solutions, focusing on its core products: SlipPure Land, SlipPure Marine, and PureMetrics. SlipPure Land removes methane and regulated gases from four-stroke lean-burn engines, helping pipeline operators comply with emissions regulations. SlipPure Marine targets methane slip from dual-fuel engines, aiding shipowners in meeting stringent regulatory obligations. PureMetrics provides real-time monitoring of exhaust gas emissions for compliance reporting to EU MRV and IMO DCS. Their solutions are marketed to sectors across Europe, North America, and Asia, where regulatory pressures on methane emissions are increasing.

Daphne Technology generates revenue primarily through direct sales and partnerships with industrial operators. The company’s revenue model involves B2B relationships with pipeline operators, shipping companies, and environmental compliance firms, deriving income from sales of its flagship products, including SlipPure systems and PureMetrics. This includes a combination of one-time purchases and ongoing service agreements for monitoring and compliance support, reflecting the value of ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing operational efficiency.

The company plans to use the April 2026 funding to expand US manufacturing, enhance its technology portfolio, and grow deployment and support operations.
