Power-to-Methane Spin-out | €3.5M Investment Opportunity for Breakthrough eMethane Technology
Investment Opportunity
We are seeking €3.5M to advance a promising spin-out technology in the Power-to-Methane space to pilot scale (TRL6), supported by €1M in already pre-approved public funding.This investment opportunity centers on a next-generation solution that converts renewable electricity, water, and waste CO2 into pipeline-grade eMethane — enabling true energy autonomy, carbon circularity, and grid-compatible renewable fuels.
The Problem
The global energy transition faces critical challenges: intermittent renewables, heavy dependence on imported fuels, high costs of long-term energy storage, and limited options for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. Existing Power-to-Gas technologies remain too expensive, complex, and difficult to deploy at scale.
The Solution
A breakthrough integrated Power-to-Methane system that combines electrolysis and methanation in a single compact reactor. This containerized, modular technology transforms renewable power and captured CO2 into high-purity eMethane that can be directly injected into existing gas infrastructure.
Technology Advantages
- 3X higher productivity compared to leading alternatives
- 25% better energy efficiency
- Significantly lower CAPEX and OPEX
- Single-reactor design (no external electrolyzer required)
- Scalable from 100 kW to multi-MW
- Rapid deployment with plug-and-play capability
Market Opportunity
- Near-term: Large addressable market in biogas plants, wastewater treatment, breweries, and industrial CO2 emitters seeking decarbonization solutions.
- Long-term: Urban energy systems, building-integrated solutions, and grid-scale renewable energy storage.
- Strong tailwinds from EU and global policies supporting green gases, energy security, and carbon utilization.
Business Model
The company will generate revenue through technology licensing, system sales, and project development partnerships. The modular containerized approach enables fast go-to-market and recurring revenue streams from service & maintenance contracts.
Traction & Validation
- Robust intellectual property portfolio with multiple patent families
- Over 1,000 hours of successful continuous operation demonstrated
- Technical validation from reputable research institutions and industry leaders
- Experienced team with deep domain expertise and prior successful commercialization track record
The Ask & Use of Funds
€3.5M equity round to reach TRL6 with a 5 kW pilot plant:
- Finalize exclusive IP licensing
- Build and operate the pilot system
- Expand the core technical team
- Strengthen patent position
- Secure strategic industry partnerships for scale-up
Vision & Impact
This technology has the potential to accelerate the decarbonization of gas networks, enhance energy sovereignty, and turn waste CO2 into a valuable domestic energy resource — delivering both strong financial returns and meaningful climate impact.
