General Galactic emerges from stealth to make methane from carbon dioxide
The stealthy new startup hopes a fully integrated approach, from direct air capture to electrolysis and methane generation, will let it drive prices down for so-called e-fuels.
It’s not an easy strategy to get right, but General Galactic, a stealthy new startup, hopes the approach will let it drive prices down for so-called e-fuels, which produce hydrocarbons from captured carbon dioxide, the company told TechCrunch exclusively. The two struck out on their own after graduating from Stanford in 2022, and they raised a $1.9 million pre-seed round in July 2023 from venture capital firms including Box Group and Refactor. The plan is to design and develop the entire system in house so the startup can capture carbon dioxide from the air, produce hydrogen from water, and combine the two to form methane, all using renewable power.
