About

Founded in 2023, Greenlyte is a private headquartered in Essen, Germany with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Hydrogen, Energy Storage, Other.

Greenlyte, founded in 2023 in Essen, Germany's Ruhr region, pioneers LiquidSolar—a fully electrified direct air capture and electrochemical hydrogen production platform. The technology captures ambient carbon dioxide using a non-toxic, water-based solution without heat, pressure, or chemical solvents. Captured carbon is stored until renewable electricity is available, enabling operation on intermittent solar and wind power. The system produces 99% pure carbon and hydrogen feedstocks ready for integration into synthetic fuel pathways including e-methanol, eSAF (sustainable aviation fuel), e-diesel, and other clean chemicals. The modular design enables scalability from pilots to industrial capacity. Greenlyte has secured over €55 million in funding and partnerships with major industry players including Rheinmetall, Ineratec, and Sunfire. The company is deploying commercial facilities including a 500-ton CO2 capture module at Chempark Marl (2026) and developing a gigawatt-class eSAF plant.
