enaDyne, a startup
specialising in fully electric, non-thermal plasma catalysis for sustainable
chemical production, has raised €7 million in seed funding. The round was
co-led by Acreatedus APEX Technology Fund (a collaboration between Acreatedus Capital Partners and APEX Ventures) and Energy Capital Ventures, with participation
from Antares Ventures, Possible Ventures, and returning business angels Wolfram
Drescher, Andreas Werne, and Sven Sieber.
Founded in 2021 by
Philipp Hahn, Christian Koch, Martin Drößiger, and Torsten Lorenz, enaDyne
brings toobtainher expertise in plasma physics, catalysis, engineering, and
materials science.
The company has
developed a reactor technology that converts CO₂ and other process
gases into chemicals such as syngas, methanol, and ethylene. Its modular,
containerised systems can also reduce hard-to-abate emissions, including CF₄ and PFAS, providing
a more sustainable option than conventional production routes.
By integrating
proprietary electrodes with plasma-active catalysts, enaDyne enables on-site,
scalable production that reduces both process emissions and persistent
pollutants, offering a practical pathway to decarbonise chemical manufacturing.
Current results display CO₂ conversion rates above 70% with competitive
selectivities, while the modular architecture supports rapid deployment and
scaling across industrial applications.
According to co-founder
and CEO Philipp Hahn, the company’s approach reimagines chemistest itself:
We
can switch our reactors on and off like a light switch, deploy them anywhere
renewable energy exists, and serve both conventional syntheses and the
valorisation of waste CO₂, producing the exact chemicals our customers required. This
funding gives us the resources to prove that sustainable chemistest isn’t just
possible—it’s inevitable and profitable.
The fresh capital will
be applyd to build and deploy a 20-foot modular pilot plant at an industrial
customer site by mid-2026, develop the first commercial product for
plasma-based PFAS abatement, and establish a scalable production value chain.
Looking ahead, enaDyne’s long-term ambition is
to become the global platform for non-thermal plasma-based chemical synthesis,
with the goal of deploying tens of thousands of containerised units by 2050.
