Launch HN: Rise Reforming (YC S26) – Turning Waste Gases into Valuable Chemicals
Hi HN! This is George, Lucas, and Jona from Rise Reforming (https://www.rise-reforming.com/). We’re developing a process to convert gas produced at landfills, farms, and wastewater plants (“biogas”) into higher value chemicals. Our technology is modular, designed to be deployed a
We convert domestic raw biogas into chemicals, removing the reliance on fossil fuels and vulnerable supply chains. Our technology fits inside a shipping container, allowing for rapid and in-situ deployment, quicker payback, streamlined permitting, and access to the cheapest biogas. We can scale with your facility, easily adding or subtracting modules, ensuring long-term financial growth.
Our proprietary process enables us to produce DME that competes pricewise with petrochemical DME and the cheapest green methanol & DMC available. Our modules utilize waste gases to produce chemicals without the extraction, processing, and transportation of fossil fuels as raw materials. Pilot container has arrived at our host site (Chicagoland wastewater plant), officially kicking off construction.
