Greenlyte Carbon Technologies develops breakthrough Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology that captures CO2 from the atmosphere while co-producing hydrogen as a byproduct through their LiquidSolar platform. The company has commercialized its technology with the world's first operational DAC-to-synthetic natural gas plant in Duisburg, producing 5 tonnes of SNG annually. They secured over €20 million in funding within 18 months of founding, including a €10.5 million pre-Series A round led by Earlybird Venture Capital and Green Generation Fund. The company has secured long-term offtake agreements with major companies like Eurowings and MB Energy, and is scaling rapidly with plans for a gigawatt-class eSAF plant by 2030.
