𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘆-𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗲'𝘀 𝗗𝗔𝗖 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱: At the start of the 20th century, chemist Fritz Haber and engineer Carl Bosch introduced a groundbreaking process that would reshape the world. Haber devised a way to synthesize ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen, and Bosch, working at BASF, scaled it into a full-scale industrial process that revolutionized agriculture. Today, the Haber-Bosch process is responsible for the production of 140 million tons of ammonia each year, sustaining more than 3.5 billion people—about half of the global population. This innovation formed the backbone of modern agriculture, significantly boosting global food production and influencing entire economies. The impact of this innovation cannot be overstated - it changed the course of history. 🌱 Greenlyte's direct air capture (DAC) technology today carries highly transformative potential too. By tackling a crucial challenge of our era, Greenlyte captures CO2 from the atmosphere while simultaneously generating green hydrogen, which is then used in the production of green hydrocarbons and sustainable fuels. The seamless integration into production processes for synthetic fuels is a testament to Greenlyte being poised to reshape industries.💡 At Greenlyte, we combine scientific discovery with strategic business scaling, similar to how Haber and Bosch started over 100 years ago. Our team of passionate climate techies provides a strong solution with immense potential for decarbonizing fuel and chemical production and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Yesterday, our co-founder Dr. Niklas Friederichsen had the privilege of speaking at not one, but two key events. He first contributed to a panel discussion at the Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) Carbon Management Academy and later took the stage as a speaker at the Handelsblatt GAS 2024 summit. He had the opportunity to present Greenlyte to the gas sector in Germany and address an urgent question: How can we make best use of Germany’s growing renewable energy surplus? 🔋 In 2023, 4% of the country’s renewable energy production had to be curtailed, making Germany Europe’s leader in energy curtailment. This significant amount of unused energy is a direct result of the lack of scalable, long-duration energy storage solutions. At Greenlyte, we are pioneering a flexible approach that leverages fluctuations in renewable energy availability and pricing, optimizing our direct air capture and hydrogen production process steps. By additionally aligning operations with periods of surplus energy, we efficiently produce e-hydrocarbons while contributing to grid stability and maximizing sustainability. As Niklas said on stage: “Sector coupling is essential. We turn intermittent renewable electricity into an opportunity by coupling the energy and gas sectors, unlocking new potentials for green energy. This approach not only maximizes the use of renewable energy but also helps industries transition to sustainable resources.” Thank you Handelsblatt for giving Niklas the stage and opportunity to talk to colleagues and industry leaders about Greenlyte’s solution and the most important challenges around the gas industry of our time. Also a big thank you to Deutsche Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) and the other panel partners Pascal Hader-Weinmann, Christoph Wieland and Elias Schiafone for a great discussion around the topic of Carbon Management & Governance. #HBGAS Handelsblatt Live Dr. Niklas Friederichsen 🌱🌎 Florian Hildebrand
