"General Galactic" Emerging as a key player in the E-fuel industry

Welcome to this week's Fruitionary Spotlight Snippets! Today, we’re highlighting General Galactic, a synthetic biology startup emerging as a key player in the e-fuel industry:

Founded by Stanford graduates Halen Mattison and Luke Neise, General Galactic is developing a fully integrated system that transforms CO2 into synthetic methane. As the largest chemical component (at 95%) of natural gas, capturing carbon and turning it into synthetic methane presents a compelling opportunity for a sustainable fuel alternative. Previous companies struggled with non-closed-loop processes, leading to high costs. General Galactic aims to change that with a full-loop system for capturing, mixing, and distributing fuel.

They’ve raised a $1.9 million pre-seed investment and have begun producing 2,000 liters of methane daily. Their innovative carbon-to-value (C2V) process creates a carbon-negative fuel that burns like traditional fuels but with a significantly lower environmental footprint.
