Founded in 2021, Planetary develops and operates a proprietary full-stack platform for bioprocess design, scale-up and industrial fermentation via its BioBlocks system. The company builds, owns and operates fermentation facilities to produce bio-based proteins, fibres and enzymes and pursues an IP-rich licensing strategy with agro-industrial partners, particularly sugar companies. Planetary has commercial traction through product launches under its B2B brand Libre®, including a nationwide mycoprotein filet launch with ALDI Suisse at price parity. It operates industrial-scale production in Aarberg, Switzerland and is scaling sugar-to-protein upcycling technology globally, targeting ultra-low-cost mycoprotein production below €0.85/kg in collaborations with partners in sucrose-rich regions. Planetary is rolling out additional launches across alternative meat and dairy, meat hybrids, fibre-rich products and protein fortification applications. The company plans to expand its global commercial rollout and technology licensing efforts using the newly raised capital.

WeSort.AI develops a patented AI- and X-ray-based platform designed to identify and recover valuable raw materials from mixed waste, including e-waste and batteries. The company highlights that more than 50% of e-waste and batteries are mis-sorted, causing fires at recycling facilities and loss of critical materials like lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements. Founded in 2022 by Nathanael Laier and Johannes Laier, WeSort.AI intends to expand its technology capabilities and accelerate system deployments using the newly raised capital. With €10 million in funding from impact-focused investors and organizations, the company aims to scale operations and tap into the “urban mine” of recoverable resources. The articles do not report revenue, user, or other operating metrics.

Headquartered in Hamburg, one.five offers an AI-driven solution that converts technical performance data, regulatory constraints, and consumer preferences into precise requirement profiles for new packaging materials. This data-centric approach is designed to cut R&D waste and shorten time-to-market for sustainable paper-based packaging. The company was founded by Martin Weber, former CFO of vertical-farming unicorn Infarm, and Claire Hae-Min Gusko. Early commercial traction includes collaborations with paper manufacturers Starkraft (a Zellstoff Pöls AG unit) and Grünperga Papier, while it is also cultivating partnerships with converters and global FMCG brands. The recently secured Series A funding will finance further platform development and international operational expansion. Although no revenue or user numbers were disclosed, the company positions itself as a critical technology layer within the packaging supply chain, aiming to deliver market-ready, regulation-compliant materials more efficiently.

FluoRok is an Oxford, UK-based startup developing fluorochemical reagents and battery electrolyte salts. Led by Dr Gabriele Pupo, CEO and Founder, it was spun out of the University of Oxford in 2022 and focuses on fluorochemical manufacturing and licensing. The company develops novel technologies to access fluorochemicals efficiently, safely and sustainably, directly employing fluorinated waste or naturally occurring fluorite as raw material. Its proprietary technology targets production of high-value fluorochemicals including fluorinating reagents and lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6). FluoRok says its solution reduces energy requirements, lowers CO2 emissions, enables reshoring due to intrinsic process safety, and introduces circular-economy principles in fluorochemical production. The company plans to use the funds to support team growth and expand production facilities for initial supply of its reagents and LiPF6. It raised £7.7M in funding.

Reverion designs and builds a reversible, carbon-negative biogas power plant based on hydrogen fuel cells and a novel system architecture and process design. The design reduces system losses, integrates CO2 separation so the unit emits only a liquefiable CO2 stream for transport or sequestration, and can produce renewable natural gas or green hydrogen when run in reverse. Founders Stephan Herrmann and Felix Fischer say the technology can be as much as 80% more efficient than existing biogas plants and produce double the output of conventional gas engines. Primary customers are farmers, who can sell liquified CO2 as a new revenue stream and more easily meet environmental regulations, and industrial plants that can integrate the units with thermal and chemical processes. The company reported a $100 million backlog of orders. A $62 million Series A will let Reverion begin industrial-scale production of its power plants. Reverion is a Munich-based climate tech spin-off of the Technical University of Munich led by CEO Stephan Herrmann and COO Felix Fischer. The company develops container-based 100 kW and 500 kW power plants that run on biogas and can also operate with hydrogen. Its plants produce pure CO2 as a byproduct of power generation, enabling CO2-negative operation, and are reversible to convert excess renewable electricity into hydrogen or methane. Reverion plans to use the recent funding to expand production of its 100 kW and 500 kW plants. The company raised EUR8.5M from investors including UVC Partners, Green Generation Fund, Extantia Capital, Doral Energy‑Tech Ventures and Landwärme GmbH. It has also received EUR12M of research capital to develop the plants. Reverion, born inside the Technical University of Munich and based in Eresing, Germany, has spent seven years developing a system to extract more electricity from biogas using existing fuel-cell technology. The company captures and processes gas that typically exits fuel cells unused, re‑increases its quality in two steps, and recycles it into the cell to raise effective efficiency. Reverion says this approach can raise output from roughly 60% to about 80% — a ~20 percentage-point improvement — by eliminating the up-to-30% of fuel that normally leaves a cell unused. The core product is modular power-plant units housed in 20-foot shipping containers; each unit is sized to power about 100 households. With $7 million in seed funding, Reverion is preparing to pilot 10 of those modular units and pursue a commercial launch. The seed financing was provided by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection, the European Social Fund and XPrize.
