Rise Reforming 做什么

Geopolitical conflicts and natural disasters frequently expose the vulnerability of the American chemical industry. The reason? Production is centralized and fossil fuel-dependent. The solution? Localized production using an undervalued resource: biogas. The US produces enough biogas to make over $20 bn/y worth of chemicals, but 60% is wasted in low-margin applications or flared altogether. Rise Reforming is commercializing a modular process to transform this underutilized biogas on-site into cheap, supply-secure chemicals. Our beachhead market is dimethyl ether (DME), used as an aerosol propellant and a low-carbon fuel additive in propane. Our target market is methanol: an established billion $ chemical and the future of low-carbon shipping. We're doing our pilot project at a Chicagoland wastewater plant. This will be the first wastewater biogas-to-methanol demo in the Americas. We're hiring for a senior chemical process engineer. Apply here:

Rise Reforming

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We turn waste gases into supply-secure chemicals

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build modular chemical plants that convert on-site waste biogas into useful chemicals. Our current focus is a process that turns biogas from wastewater plants into dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol. We install our units at locations where biogas is produced and give customers a way to make valuable chemicals instead of wasting the gas. This helps users replace fossil-based supply chains with local, secure sources for industrial chemicals.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Chicago, IL, and will stay there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Chicago has a huge industrial base and active biogas production, making it a great place to pilot our reactors and work with early customers. Our first pilot is already here at a local wastewater plant.
