Rise Reforming

Rise Reforming is a climate-technology company that converts underutilized and flared waste biogas into valuable chemicals such as dimethyl ether (DME) and methanol. It deploys a modular, on-site reforming process at biogas sources like wastewater treatment plants, enabling localized, supply-secure chemical production and reducing dependence on centralized, fossil-fuel-based chemical manufacturing. A Y Combinator (Summer 2026) company, it is building the first wastewater biogas-to-methanol demonstration in the Americas at a Chicagoland wastewater facility. As a hardware and chemical-process company, it currently publishes no public web API, developer portal, or software SDK surface.

Rise Reforming is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Climate Tech, Biogas, Chemicals, and Methanol.
