#beforeitstoolate 😉 Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year everybody! 🎄🥂🥳 (The photo shows our latest reactor prototype (and trunk of a Christmas tree 😉) utilizing one of our catalysts, while being operated by our customer PCK Refinery GmbH. It shows a very nice, homogeneous/ glow-like discharge.)

Sebastian just met somebody... 💥 👉 His name is Robert Habeck - Vice-Chancellor & Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany! 😊👍 Yesterday, eight start-ups, one of them being refuel.green , were able to discuss with him the challenges that startups face in Germany and how to overcome them. The topics ranged from making public funding more agile over boosting the efficiency of bureaucracy to bringing the startup-must-have, positive, yes-(of course)-we-can mindset to every citizen. Robert Habeck & team, we’d like to thank you very much for the opportunity to exchange and discuss ideas to positively change our society & planet. We’re looking forward to your visit in our Dresden Development-HQ next year! 💪👷‍♂️👩‍🔧🧑‍🔬👨‍💻👩‍🚀🤙 👉 TOGETHER WE MASTER CLIMATE CHANGE! 💪🌎🌍🌏👍 It was also great to meet you (again): Birgit Horack , Jochen Zimmermann , Dr. Daniela Brönstrup , Daria Stepanova , Maike Lambarth , 🌱🌎 Florian Hildebrand , Friederike Hesse , Lena Weirauch , Christian Vollmann , Fleming Bruckmaier , Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz #BMWK # D ecarbonization #Innovation #SustainableFuture #NextGenPtX #ptx #p2x #efuels #plasmacatalysis #startup #teamspirit #leidergeil

Last Friday, in combination with the opening ceremony of the Startup Labor Schwedt & the “Lange Nacht der Ausbildung” of the PCK Refinery Schwedt, around 1,400 people celebrated the inauguration of our first NextGen-PtX Reactor Prototype “PCK-One”. 🙏 We are very grateful that we were able to have State Secretary Michael Kellner from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection with us at this milestone event. 🌍🌎🌏 PCK-One will produce green Methanol from H2 and CO2 via plasma catalysis in the coming months – and is the real hardware-beginning of our contribution to a renewable, CO2-neutral global economy.

Say Hi to Max & Anthony! 👋 A few weeks ago Maximilian Dollinger (on the right) became a member of our refuel.green -Team – now Anthony Zschalig (on the left) joined us. As Project Manager, Max is driving our first public demonstration project towards delivery to our customer’s site. Anthony is responsible for the development of our electrical components, which are critical to the technical and commercial success of our NextGen-PtX Reactor Units. We are super-happy to have them on board! 🥳😊👍 If YOU would also like to play a meaningful role in mastering Climate Change, then check out 👉 careers.refuel.green to join us! #ptx #p2x #efuels #plasmacatalysis #startup #teamspirit #leidergeil

Time is moving with a fast rhythm – and so are we. 💃🕺🚀 We recently moved into our new Development Headquarter near Dresden Airport: 🚩 https://lnkd.in/e6C5eyiB We now have 150m² available to expand our reactor development, demonstrator production as well as our awesome refuel.green -Team (spoiler alert 😉). Many thanks to the amazing Senodis Technologies GmbH -Team for supporting us over the last two years! We wouldn't be here without you! 👍👍👍 #ptx #p2x #efuels #plasmacatalysis #startup #teamspirit #leidergeil #keeponmoving

"[...] Besides others, also Sebastian Becker from competitor refuel.green does not want to be satisfied with a market niche, either. "Our process has the potential to become the new standard in e-fuel production," says the founder. However, the ten-person team is still working on optimizing the reactor technology - and wants to do the jump out of their laboratory this summer - when the pilot plant will go into operation at their first customer's refinery site."

Our first Podcast Interview is online - with lots of detailed refuel.green -Insights. 🎧📻🤩 👉 https://lnk.to/refuelgreen thx Startup Insider ! We're looking forward to the next episode. So stay tuned! 😉👷‍♂️🤙 #ptx #p2x #efuels #plasmacatalysis #startup #podcast #interview #teamspirit #leidergeil

refuel.green receives €1.2 million pre-seed financing for more cost-effective production of fuels from renewable electricity (e-fuels) • A total of €1.2 million in fresh capital for particularly innovative technology • refuel.green wins HTGF as lead investor for pre-seed financing • TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen and two business angels are co-investors • Team buildup and first customer project planned for 2023 Dresden, January 12, 2023 – e-fuels can make a decisive contribution to making the global economy independent of fossil crude oil and at the same time CO2-neutral and renewable. The refuel.green team is developing a particularly innovative technology that can reduce the production cost of e-fuels from currently more than €2.50/L to €1/L. The start-up has now closed a €1.2 million pre-seed financing round, led by High-Tech Gründerfonds. refuel.green’s "NextGen-PtX Reactor Unit" is currently on the threshold from laboratory to industry. It combines the low investment costs of innovative plasmacatalysis technologies with the high efficiencies of proven thermocatalytic processes. The modular design, for which a patent is pending, allows the cost-effective production of e-fuels thanks to the correspondingly low investment and operating costs. Thanks to simple scalability, a significant market penetration in large numbers is achievable. refuel.green's customers include in particular refineries and chemical companies that are still dependent on fossil crude oil. As early as 2023, the Dresden company’s first prototype is expected to produce the first liters of e-fuels in a European refinery. From 2024, scaled prototypes with higher production output and efficiency will follow. The start of series production of the "NextGen-PtX Reactor Unit" is planned for the end of 2025. "Thanks to the fresh capital, we can now further advance the development of our product with our current and new partners and customers. It also enables us to expand our team, which we are particularly looking forward to! With our four new investors, we have strong partners at our side. We are very happy to be able to benefit from their experience in financing similar start-ups as well as building their own companies." Sebastian Becker , Co-Founder & CEO of refuel.green "We were convinced by their innovative approach, bringing power-to-X and hence e-fuel production to a competitive price level, and by their complementary founding team of innovators, engineers and plant constructors. refuel.green addresses a relevant and so far insufficiently solved problem and we are excited to support them on their journey." Nils Lang , Investment Manager at High-Tech Gründerfonds About refuel.green consulting & technologies GmbH refuel.green is one of the world's most innovative start-ups in the field of e-fuels. Founded in Dresden in 2021, the team of ca. 10 engineers and entrepreneurs is committed to making a decisive contribution to a CO2-neutral global economy. Specifically, the innovative, plasmacatalysis-based "NextGen-PtX Reactor Unit" is being developed, built and marketed. In line with its holistic value proposition, the refuel.green GmbH also supports its customers with consulting on the technically and economically optimal integration of the units into existing production plants or into new projects. Thanks to this overall offer, refineries, for example, can convert their business operations, which are currently dependent on fossil crude oil, to the production of CO2-neutral, renewable e-fuels in a particularly competitive manner. https://www.refuel.green Media contact refuel.green consulting & technologies GmbH Sebastian Becker, Co-Founder & CEO Manfred-von-Ardenne-Ring 20d 01099 Dresden, Germany T.: +49 160 9581 8581 sebastian.becker@refuel.green About High-Tech Gründerfonds The seed investor High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) finances tech start-ups with growth potential and has supported over 690 start-ups since 2005.
