C1 Green Chemicals AG

Meet our CEO Christian Vollmann in New York for #ClimateWeekNYC

🔎 Spot the difference 🔍 On the left, workers from BASF celebrate the first batch of industrially produced #methanol in the chemical park Leuna in 1923. On the right, we celebrate the first batch of methanol in the same location, a century later. Same place, same product. So what has changed since 1923? The answer: the #chemistry behind it. We have fundamentally reinvented methanol #catalysis and are currently working hard to push the boundaries of the novel technology. The goal is to reach a higher plateau in terms of #efficiency and to lower the production #cost of #GreenMethanol. #HomogeneousCatalysis #MadeInEastGermany Historical picture source: BASF Corporate History, Ludwigshafen a.Rh.

🚨 Milestone alert 🚨 C1 produces first methanol in “Leuna100” pilot project We have successfully commissioned our #GreenMethanol #pilotplant in the #ChemicalPark in Leuna and took the entire C1 team there to celebrate the first methanol batch produced. 🎉 The plant is built 100% from off-the-shelf #industrial components, paving the way for a fast #scaleup of our groundbreaking #methanol production #technology. Thanks to the entire team for the hard work, the tears and the sweat that went into making this a reality in #record #time. You rock! 🤘 Also thanks to our engineering partner oilRoq GmbH, our infrastructure partner in the Leuna100 consortium Fraunhofer-Institut für Windenergiesysteme as well as Griesemann Gruppe and JC Eckardt GmbH for their outstanding support. Not to forget our research partners Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e. V. (LIKAT) and CreativeQuantum GmbH! 🙏 Next stop: Commercial #demoplant 👷♀️ 🏭 🏗 👷♂️ The #Leuna100 project was launched in the Leuna Chemical Park in August 2023 and is set to run for three years. It is being funded with a total of €10.4 million by the German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport as part of the Renewable Fuels Funding Program. The funding guideline for the development of renewable fuels is being coordinated by NOW GmbH and implemented by the project management agencies VDI/VDE Innovation Technik GmbH and Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V. (FNR) C1 is proudly backed by outstanding investors including Planet A Ventures, SquareOne Venture Capital, Maersk Growth, denkapparat, Jim Hagemann Snabe, Wolfgang Reitzle, juergen Hambrecht, SB21, Blue Impact , Arvantis Group, Dirk Radzinski, Dr. Udo Jung, Ina Remmers, Rubin Ritter, Johannes Schaback, Till Behnke, Martin Ott and more. #GreenChemistry #efuels #CircularCarbonChemistry #NetZero #QuantumChemistry

Our "C1 alpha" #miniplant finally moved in to our own, brand new #technikum in Berlin Adlershof. Dear team technikum: Congratulations on the move! When do you plan to host your house-warming party 💃 🕺? Felix Pohl Kay Horny Stephan Ost Carlo Alberto Genovese #BuildingTheFuture #GreenChemistry #GreenMethanol

Going to The Drop this year? Join our Ripple on Hydrogen! On September 17, Thong Le Hoang from Visionaries Tomorrow and me will host a #ripple on the role of #hydrogen and it's derivatives in the #energytransition. We’ll explore hydrogen’s role in #industrial #decarbonization, scrutinize where it truly adds value, and navigate the expanding hydrogen “color wheel”. As the founder of C1 Green Chemicals AG, I will share our perspective on hydrogen as a feedstock in the production of #GreenMethanol for the use in #shipping, #aviation and #ChemicalProduction. But what Thong and me are most excited about is learning from your insights and challenging our own thinking. Want to join?

Integrated Lab Solutions was proud to be part of C1 Green Chemicals AG initial growth phase by providing them with their first batch and then continuously operated homogeneously catalyzed #methanol #synthesis plants. Now they are moving off to their newly completed testing building in Technologiepark Adlershof. The #C1 Team worked in the #ILS labs for almost 2 years during which time they successfully raised important capital, hired staff and became a well known market leader with a promising, completely novel approach to synthesizing #greenmethanol as an important part of decarbonizing #marine transportation. A particular thanks to Marek Checinski who I've known and respected for years for his work in Quantum Chemisry and Christian Vollmann a well-known Entrepeneur in Berlin who managed to learn to talk #chemistry than a lot of chemists I know! 😂 Been a pleasure working with all of you!

C1 CSO Marek Checinski and CEO Christian Vollmann went on board the Laura Mærsk, the world's first #greenmethanol #containership in Bremerhaven yesterday. They were welcomed by the #captain and the chief engineer, who showed them the bridge and the engine room and explained the ships #dualfuel layout. C1 will work hard to bring down the price of green methanol by scaling our breakthrough production technology as quickly as possible. We are dedicated to play our role in the #greentransition in #shipping. Our dream is that one day the Laura Mærsk will run on C1 green methanol! Thanks to Rainer Horn from A.P. Moller - Maersk for the generous invitation! #AllTheWayToZero #netzero #greenshipping Maersk Growth

Team #synlab fighting hard to bring the price of our #catalyst down 😂

Two more Maersk methanol-enabled vessels will be entering service this summer. I’m thrilled that Nike and Vestas will christen our new vessels in Denmark and the U.S. this August. We have the vessels and the determination to accelerate the energy transition. Now, we urgently need a global maritime fuel standard and pricing mechanism to truly make a difference and support large-scale green fuel projects.   #Maersk #allthewaytozero #netzero 

𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗨 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌍🚀   To accelerate Europe's #greentransition, the #EU must leverage existing resources and provide strong #incentives for climate tech #innovation. We suggest leveraging #revenues from the EU Emissions Trading System (#ETS) and making the #InnovationFund more accessible to #climatetech companies. Also, member states should allocate at least 25% of ETS revenues to domestic #cleantech manufacturing.  Moreover, Contracts for Difference (#CfDs) can be a highly valuable instrument for closing the cost gap between new #lowcarbon technologies and current market prices. They offer financial certainty, thus encouraging investments in climate tech and ensuring long-term #competitiveness. Lastly, phasing out fossil fuel #subsidies is critical for creating a fair market for clean technologies, making green alternatives more #cost competitive and #attractive to investors.  Read more in our EU Climate Tech #Manifesto: https://lnkd.in/eEUTUqyH   #TechForNetZero #ClimateTech #Sustainability #EP #EuropeanParliament  #ETS #Revenues #ClimateAction #NetZeroEconomy #Startup   #VC #Cleantech #EUElections2024 #EU2024 #Brussels    Tech for Net Zero Breakthrough Energy Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) C1 Green Chemicals AG Christian Vollmann Julius von der Ohe, PhD Tobias Lechtenfeld Pia Dorfinger René Böhm Philipp Offenberg Maria Leis Julian Joswig Sibylla Heckmann Theresa Jahr Raphael Putz
