Launch HN: Rise Reforming (YC S26) – Turning Waste Gases into Valuable Chemicals

Unlocking resilience for the chemical 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 enough biogas to make over $20 billion worth of chemicals annually , but 60% is wasted or flared in low-margin applications We convert stranded biogas from wastewater plants, farms, and landfills on-site into valuable chemicals like dimethyl ether (DME), methanol, and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) Supply-Secure We convert domestic raw biogas into chemicals, removing the reliance on fossil fuels and vulnerable supply chains.
