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.
