## About

Based in London, UK, and founded in 2022, Ki 13, formerly known as Ki Hydrogen Ltd, operates from specializing in the innovative co-production of green hydrogen and biogenic carbon. In September 2026, Ki 13 raised USD 5 million in seed funding led by HICO Investment Group, with participation from Desai Ventures, GiTV, Triple Impact Ventures, and BURGEST 2007 SL, alongside a grant funding from Innovate UK.

Ki 13 specializes in the co-production of green hydrogen and biogenic carbon, utilizing a novel biomass electrolyser to transform abundant lignocellulosic biomass sourced from agriculture, forestry, and industrial waste. This innovative approach allows the company to produce green hydrogen at a competitive price of USD 2/kg and biogenic CO2 at USD 100/tonne. The end-use cases for these products are diverse, including applications in green steel production, carbon storage, hydroprocessing, fertilizers, food-grade CO2, plastics, textiles, and e-fuels such as green methanol and ammonia. Ki 13 aims to serve a wide range of industries that seek sustainable solutions to reduce their carbon footprint, primarily focusing on markets in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, where there is a growing demand for clean energy alternatives and sustainable chemical production.

Ki 13's revenue model is primarily centered on B2B transactions, targeting businesses within the heavy industry and sustainable materials sectors. The company structures its sales through direct partnerships and collaborations with manufacturers and corporations seeking to integrate green hydrogen and biogenic carbon into their production processes. Clients could enter into long-term agreements for the supply of green hydrogen, leveraging Ki 13's ability to deliver scalable and cost-competitive solutions. The pricing structure reflects the company's competitive position in the market, with green hydrogen priced at USD 2/kg and biogenic CO2 at USD 100/tonne, facilitating accessibility for various commercial applications. These pricing strategies are designed to encourage partnerships with industries committed to sustainability and transitioning away from fossil fuels.

The company plans to use the September 2026 funding to build an industrial pilot plant, test its biomass electrolysis technology at a larger scale, and support its path toward commercial deployment of green hydrogen and biogenic CO2 for synthetic fuels.
