C1 Green Chemicals AG

It is our teamwork that makes us strong. Happy birthday C1! 🎂

We are looking for a team member to jointly drive the commercialization of our breakthrough technology for the mass production of green methanol. See job posting in the comments ⬇️

We are looking for a 🅿🆁🅾🅹🅴🅲🆃 🅼🅰🅽🅰🅶🅴🆁 🅲🅰🆃🅰🅻🆈🆂🆃 🆂🆄🅿🅿🅻🆈 🅲🅷🅰🅸🅽 to scale the synthesis of our catalyst to the ton scale together with external contract manufacturers. Come join our team and help us make ɢʀᴇᴇɴ ᴍᴇᴛʜᴀɴᴏʟ a reality for the sake of the climate 🌍 See link to job posting in the commments ⬇️

What a year-end rally at C1 ! 🏃♀️➡️ 🏭 Team Leuna100 just completed another run in our #pilotplant, confirming process improvements and increasing performance of the system by a factor of 2.5x (the picture is from the night shift on duty) 🧪 Team #chemistry confirmed a breakthrough novel #synthesis route, drastically reducing complexity & cost in producing our #catalyst We continue to execute successfully against our strategic #masterplan. Our learning curve is super steep. It is pure joy to watch this high-performing team in action! #homogeneous #catalysis #chemicalengineering #processengineering #efuels #greenmethanol

Having fun at our #Xmas party, including a surprise visit by #Santa 🎅 himself! He was well informed about how C1 team members behaved in 2024 from what the Christmas elves had written in his book... 😂

We are happy to announce that Kaan Karacasulu has joined C1 as Project Manager and will lead the Leuna100 project — our pilot plant focused on the cost-efficient and scalable production of market-ready #greenmethanol for #marine and #aviation applications. 👍 Kaan joins us from BASF, where he worked as a Project Manager for Digitalization. Prior to this, he was a doctoral researcher at RWTH Aachen University, where he concentrated on sustainable chemical processes leveraging biological and electrochemical pathways. His expertise includes process design, optimization, cost analysis, and the model-driven development of demonstration plants. Kaan has also contributed to research on e-fuels, with a particular focus on demand-responsive e-DME production processes using RSOC and SEDMES technologies, which is currently being prepared for publication. Welcome to team C1, dear Kaan! 😀

Few days ago i had the opportunity to speak at the annual conference of the DGMK (German Society for Sustainable Energy, Mobility and Carbon Cycles) and present the joint efforts to bring a new technology into the chemical industry and to scale it up. 💚 I was able to listen to many very interesting presentations from the industry and academia. And i could talk to engaged people from BASF (Dr. Alois Kindler, Dr. Markus Weber), Evonik (Prof. Robert Franke, Dr. Niklas Paul), Salzgitter (Dr.-Ing. Peter Juchmann), Verbio (Dr. Andreas Kohl) and Saipem (Mario Marchionna) and talk about their promising approaches to enable a more sustainable economy. There are serious things ongoing. 📈 And i had a great time with amazing scientists like Prof. Dieter Vogt, Dr. Thomas Seidensticker, Dr. Andreas J. Vorholt. 🎉 Thank you Gesa Netzeband and Ines Musekamp for the great conference. 🥇 #simulations #catalysis #synthesis #kilolab #technikum #PilotPlant #ContainerScale #preCommercialPlant #greenMethanol

🚢 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐬 🌊   The ISO - International Organization for Standardization released a new global standard for using #methanol 💧 as a marine fuel - ISO 6583:2024. This is a huge leap forward for greener, cleaner shipping.   The standard was developed collectively with input 💬 from shipowners, operators, engine designers, methanol producers, and many other stakeholders. We’re proud that the Methanol Institute had a seat at the table, with our Senior Advisor, kjeld Aabo, helping to shape the process.   The new standard lays out clear specifications for 3️⃣ methanol grades—Marine Methanol Grade A, B, and C—and sets guidelines to ensure methanol can be safely and reliably used in marine engines, fuel cells, and other ship systems.   This is a big deal for the shipping industry as it works toward cutting emissions and adopting more #SustainableFuels. Methanol is not just a cleaner alternative; it’s also versatile and ready for global use.   📄🔗 Want to learn more or get a copy of the standard?

Our CSO Marek Checinski will join the board of the German Catalysis Society. This is a testimony to his decade long experience in #chemical #catalysis. We could not be more happy for him. 😊 Well deserved Marek!
