Deep tech startup Reduciner introduces novel technology to turn captured carbon into sustainable fuels

Reduciner, a deep tech startup originating from VTT, is commercialising a novel high-temperature technology that enables industrial companies to turn captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into usable fuel and valuable industrial raw materials. The company raised EUR 3.6 million in its first funding round, consisting of equity funding from Voima Ventures, Lifeline Ventures, and Mikko Kodisoja Foundation. In addition, VTT has transferred the underlying user rights to the technology and IP as an in-kind investment to the newly established company.

Reduciner’s technology involves a proprietary thermochemical process that efficiently converts CO₂ into carbon monoxide (CO), using renewable electricity and biogenic carbon. The innovation allows indirect electrification of combustion processes, enabling large-scale production of sustainable fuels and chemicals and a significant reduction of industrial carbon dioxide emissions globally. Since CO is already compatible with existing industrial systems, the solution allows companies to reduce emissions without costly infrastructure changes.
