At Rise Reforming, we turn waste gases into supply-secure chemicals.
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 $20B/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 stranded biogas into valuable supply-secure chemicals like dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol. Our technology can be deployed on-site, helping biogas producers properly valorize their gas.
We've just broken ground on our pilot project at a Chicagoland wastewater plant. This will be the first wastewater biogas-to-methanol demo in the Americas.
