Unlocking resilience

for the chemical industry

Chemical production is centralized and fossil fuel- dependent, making it vulnerable to geopolitical events and natural disasters

Biogas is the ideal domestic feedstock: the U.S. produces enough biogas to make over $20 billion worth of chemicals annually, but 60% is wasted or flared in low-margin applications

We convert stranded biogas from wastewater plants, farms, and landfills on-site into valuable chemicals like dimethyl ether (DME), methanol, and dimethyl carbonate (DMC)

Supply-Secure

We convert domestic raw biogas into chemicals, removing the reliance on fossil fuels and vulnerable supply chains.

Modular

Our technology fits inside a shipping container, allowing for rapid and in-situ deployment, quicker payback, streamlined permitting, and access to the cheapest biogas.

Scalable

We can scale with your facility, easily adding or subtracting modules, ensuring long-term financial growth.

Price Competitive

Our proprietary process enables us to produce DME that competes pricewise with petrochemical DME and the cheapest green methanol & DMC available.

Low-Carbon

Our modules utilize waste gases to produce chemicals without the extraction, processing, and transportation of fossil fuels as raw materials.

Signed a binding supply agreement and multiple MOUs with biogas producers. Signed a conditional DME offtake agreement for our first commercial unit.

April 2026

Proof-of-concept complete after 1800+ hours of stable syngas production. Next, with pilot plant designs ready, we're taking our technology to live biogas.
