RISE REFORMING
Unlocking resilience
for the chemicals 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 $5B worth of biogas, but 60%
is wasted in low-margin applications or flared
We convert stranded biogas from wastewater plants, farms, and landfills on-site into valuable chemicals like dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol
Supply-Secure
We convert domestic raw biogas into chemicals, removing the reliance on fossil fuels and vulnerable supply chains.
Modular
Our entire plant 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 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 six MOUs with biogas producers, locking in $14M in ARR. Signed a $5M conditional offtake agreement for DME.
April 2026
After over 1800 hours of stable syngas production, our proof-of-concept is complete. Next, with pilot plant designs ready, we're taking our technology to live biogas.
March 2026
Pre-seed round of funding is closed after raising $650k towards completing proof-of-concept, filing process IP, and finalizing our plans for the pilot plant.
December 2025
Rise Reforming plants its roots at Illinois Institute of Technology's incubator lab to continue R&D. Nina Kritikos joins as the first hire.
