Gas Recovery and Recycle Limited

Gas Recovery and Recycle Limited, operating as GR2L, is a UK-based cleantech company founded in 2008 that specializes in the recovery, purification, and recycling of industrial purge gases. The company developed the ArgonØ, a proprietary point-of-use argon gas recycling system created in collaboration with Cambridge University. This technology effectively removes contaminants like carbon monoxide and hydrogen from exhaust gases at high levels, achieving recycle rates of 95% or better. By allowing manufacturers to reuse argon on-site rather than relying solely on new gas, the system addresses a critical gap in conventional purification, particularly for sectors involving high-value manufacturing.

The technology is primarily used in industries such as solar photovoltaics (PV), microelectronics, 3D metal additive manufacturing, and aerospace heat treatments. By enabling manufacturers to recycle inert gases, GR2L helps reduce Scope 3 carbon emissions, minimize operational waste, and lower manufacturing costs. With over 100 systems installed globally, the company has demonstrated the ability to save customers millions of pounds annually while improving process sustainability. Their international presence has been supported by organizations like UK Export Finance, facilitating large-scale export contracts to support global solar energy infrastructure.
