Standard Carbon

About the offering

Standard Carbon has developed the Carbon Bridge™ system, which converts carbon emissions and excess/curtailed electricity into pipeline-grade renewable natural gas (StandardRNG™) that works immediately in existing infrastructure with no retrofits or disruption. The system captures CO₂ at the smokestack, stores it until low-cost off-peak electricity is available, uses that electricity to produce hydrogen from water, then combines hydrogen and CO₂ to synthesize pipeline-ready natural gas. The technology is already operating at the City College of New York (CCNY)—one of the most demanding regulatory and infrastructure environments in the world—and expanding into utility-scale deployments including a 1.4 GW power station. The company reports $75M+ in signed deployment contracts for 2025, a projected $1.7B commercial pipeline, and 40+ signed deals. Cumulative operating metrics include 2,000+ operating hours, 64+ tonnes of CO₂ captured, and 1,100+ MMBtu of pipeline-grade natural gas produced. The company holds 10+ patents worldwide and projects $191M in revenue by 2029. Headquartered in New York City with R&D in Israel, the company has fewer than 10 employees and is valued at approximately $40M. The offering is at $1.12/share with a $1,000.16 minimum investment via DealMaker Securities. Partnerships include major energy and infrastructure players. The Problem The $15T+ global energy system emits 34 billion tons of CO₂ annually. Natural gas demand is projected to grow significantly, but renewable natural gas (RNG) supply faces a 6x+ projected supply gap by 2040—meaning the US will need far more clean gas than current RNG sources (biogas, landfill gas) can provide. Simultaneously, cities and industries face mounting regulatory pressure to decarbonize: NYC's Local Law 97 fines buildings $268 per excess ton of CO₂, industrial firms face $1B+ in compliance costs under new global climate rules, the EU mandates blending of low-carbon natural gas into all supplies, and Japan is pushing for a 46% emissions reduction by 2030. Existing infrastructure (pipelines, boilers, generators) represents trillions in sunk investment that cannot be easily replaced with electrification alone. The world needs a drop-in, low-carbon replacement for fossil natural gas that works with existing infrastructure at scale. The Solution The Carbon Bridge™ system produces StandardRNG™—pipeline-grade renewable natural gas—directly at the source of emissions. The four-step process captures CO₂ from exhaust before it enters the atmosphere, stores the captured CO₂ on-site until low-cost off-peak electricity is available, uses excess electricity to produce hydrogen from water via electrolysis, then combines hydrogen and CO₂ through methanation to produce synthetic natural gas ready for pipelines, generators, and boilers. The system is designed to be deployed at existing energy and industrial sites—buildings, power plants, industrial facilities—converting what was a liability (emissions) into a usable energy product (clean gas). The technology addresses the critical gap where carbon capture alone creates a waste disposal problem, while Standard Carbon creates a revenue-generating fuel from the captured carbon. The system can scale from urban behind-the-meter installations to national grid-connected power stations. Business Model Revenue comes from a diverse mix across each project lifecycle. Upfront reservation and engineering fees secure and design new systems. Feasibility studies assess project viability and prepare sites. Sales of renewable gas produced on-site or through pipelines generate ongoing fuel revenue. Operations and maintenance fees tied to system performance provide recurring income. Tax incentives (such as 45Q carbon capture credits) and carbon credits reward emissions reductions. The company targets urban energy markets, industrial/commercial energy users, power plants (particularly peaker plants), and emerging sectors like data centers. The long-term strategy includes technology licensing as an additional revenue stream. Projects are typically financed at the project level, allowing the parent company to generate revenue through licensing, engineering services, management fees, and ownership participation while financing infrastructure off balance sheet. Traction $75M+ in signed deployment orders for 2025. 40+ signed deals. First urban multi-module deployment operating at CCNY in New York City. Utility-scale project underway at a 1.4 GW power station. 2,000+ cumulative operating hours. 64+ tonnes of CO₂ captured. 1,100+ MMBtu of pipeline-grade natural gas produced. 10+ patents and patent applications worldwide. Projected $1.7B commercial pipeline. Discussions and proposals submitted in Boston, Buffalo, Rochester, Texas, Oklahoma, and London. 35+ existing individual and institutional investors. The company projects $191M in revenue by 2029 (85x revenue growth). International interest from the Middle East and UK/EU markets. No current revenue figures were disclosed—the company appears to be in the transition from pilot/early commercial to scaled deployment. Team Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Natan Shahar founded the company and leads strategic direction. CEO Andrew E. Lauter leads executive operations. Director of Global Business Development Jared Sussman drives commercial expansion. The company has fewer than 10 employees (mix of part-time, full-time, and external vendors) with headquarters in New York City and engineering/R&D operations in Israel.
