UK cleantech company Ki 13 (formerly Ki Hydrogen) has raised $5 million in seed funding to build an industrial pilot plant for its biomass electrolysis technology. The round was led by HICO Investment Group, with participation from Burgest, Triple Impact Ventures, GiTV and Desai Ventures, alongside non-dilutive match funding from Innovate UK. Ki 13 is developing an electrochemical process that converts lignocellulosic biomass into separate streams of green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂. These can be used as feedstocks for synthetic fuels and chemicals, including sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF), e-methanol and e-methane. The company is seeking to reduce the cost of producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, two of the main inputs used in synthetic fuel production. Conventional approaches typically rely on water electrolysis to produce green hydrogen and direct air capture to obtain CO₂, both of which require significant amounts of energy. Ki 13's technology instead uses biomass as the input for a low-temperature electrochemical process that produces hydrogen and biogenic CO₂ simultaneously. According to the company, the process requires around 25 kWh of electricity per kilogram of hydrogen and 300 kWh per tonne of CO₂. By comparison, Ki 13 says water electrolysis typically requires around 50 kWh per kilogram of...
