Greenlyte: Engineering resilient synthetic fuels from air, water and renewable power.
About us
Greenlyte builds plants that produce the two building blocks of every synthetic fuel - green carbon and hydrogen - on site, using only air, water and renewable electricity. Our patented LiquidSolar™ platform makes fuel production independent of fossil imports and possible wherever renewable power is available. Founded in 2022 in Essen, Germany, Greenlyte has raised over €55M from investors including Carbon Removal Partners, Earlybird, Partech, AENU and Green Generation Fund and employs 80+ people from over 15 nations.
Technology
LiquidSolar™ captures CO₂ from ambient air and co-produces green hydrogen in one integrated, fully electrified process:
Capture: a water-based, non-toxic absorbent binds CO₂ from ambient air.
Buffer: the CO₂ is stored as solid bicarbonate crystals, concentrated 600,000-fold.
Release: electrochemical desorption releases CO₂ and produces H₂, both at >99% purity, whenever renewable power is available, and regenerates the absorbent.
The CO₂/H₂ output feeds directly into different fuel synthesis pathways, such as e-methanol or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
Proof points
TRL 7 since March 2026: LiquidSolar™ SNG plant in Duisburg, coupled directly to fuel synthesis
55,000+ operating hours under real ambient conditions across test stands and plants
9 granted patents
Commercial-scale plant at Chempark Marl, commissioning 2027 (1,400 t CO₂ -> 1,000 t e-methanol p.a.)
Strategic offtake partnerships with Lufthansa/Eurowings and MB Energy
Use cases
e-SAF for aviation
e-methanol for shipping and chemicals
Drop-in feedstock for existing synthesis assets
Decentralised, crisis-proof fuel supply for critical infrastructure and defence (e.g. GigaPtX initiative with Rheinmetall)
We are looking for
E-fuel project developers that require for CO₂ and H₂ feedstock, operators of refineries and chemical parks, fuel offtakers, and electrolysis and synthesis technology partners for integration.
