  C1 Green Chemicals AG is a Berlin-based cleantech startup founded in 2022 that develops climate-friendly chemical production processes using a quantum-chemistry platform. Its first spin-out is a proprietary homogeneous methanol catalysis that aims to disrupt a century-old chemical production process and unlock non-fossil feedstocks. The company positions green methanol as a key route to defossilise shipping, aviation and carbon-based chemical production and cites a market projection of ~€183 billion per year by 2050 with CO2 savings of several gigatons annually. C1 plans to build the world’s first demonstration plant for homogeneously catalysed methanol, with construction slated to start this year. The company has recently recruited experienced chemists, chemical engineers and project managers from firms including Linde, BASF, Clariant, Shell and Tesla. Financially, C1 has secured fresh capital to commercialise its technology and advance demonstration-scale deployment.
