Reverion raises $175M, plans factory with 800 jobs
Reverion, a Bavarian energy-tech startup, has raised $175 million (€154.2 million) in its largest Series B round, led by climate-tech fund Kembara, with participation from Allianz, KfW Capital, Aurum Impact, and Carbon Equity. The funds will support a new megafactory in Germany, with a site of about 100,000 square meters (30,000 for buildings), boosting annual production capacity to 250 MW and creating up to 800 jobs, including roles for skilled blue-collar workers. Reverion's reversible solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power plants achieve 74.2% electrical efficiency, can switch to electrolysis to store surplus renewable energy as gas, and capture CO2, enabling carbon-neutral or carbon-negative operation. Targeting AI data centers and heavy industry to address solar and wind intermittency, the company has seven plants operating at customer sites and a project pipeline exceeding $2 billion, with international deliveries planned.
Funding for a clean energy startup is relevant to the AdTech industry only indirectly as an example of technological innovation, but it is not directly related to advertising or marketing technologies. Therefore, the score is moderate but below the threshold for high relevance.
