GRUENDELPARTNER advises Litherm Technologies on seed financing round worth €6.5 million

Litherm Technologies GmbH, based in Wernigerode, has successfully completed a seed financing round worth more than €6.5 million. In addition to bmp Ventures with the IBG funds, Graymont (Canada), SkreenHouse Ventures (UK), Kalkfabrik Netstal AG (Switzerland), Zeitinger Invest, the Breakthrough Energy Foundation (USA) and UnternehmerTUM Funding for Innovators participated in the financing round.

Litherm was founded in 2019 with the aim of creating an industrially scalable path for the climate-neutral production of lime and cement. The company is developing a fully electric calcination technology to decarbonise the lime and cement industry, addressing one of the world's most CO₂-intensive industrial sectors. An electrically powered high-temperature process is intended to completely replace the use of fossil fuels in the thermal processing of mineral raw materials. Litherm was the first German company to be accepted into the renowned Breakthrough Energy Fellowship programme.
The funds raised in the financing round will be used in particular for further technological scaling and the construction of the first industrial demonstration plants.

GRUENDELPARTNER provided Litherm with comprehensive legal advice on the structuring and implementation of the seed financing round.
