Catalyzing a low-carbon future with breakthrough zeolite innovation

Unlocking the future of sustainable catalysis : why Zeopore Technologies is poised for global impact and investor growth

As global chemical industries seek more efficient, sustainable, and economically viable catalytic solutions, Zeopore Technologies NV stands out as a deep tech scale-up with breakthrough zeolite innovation technology and confirmed industrial traction. Founded in 2018 and based in Belgium, Zeopore is now entering a compelling scale-up phase, with 12 full-time employees and a growing international footprint. The company presents a timely and highly attractive opportunity for financial investors focused on advanced materials, energy transition, and industrial decarbonization.

Revolutionizing catalysis for sustainable fuels, chemicals & plastic recycling

Zeolites are essential catalysts in the production of fuels and chemicals. However, their efficiency is limited by intrinsic microporosity, which hinders molecular diffusion and reduces catalytic performance. Zeopore addresses this fundamental limitation with a proprietary, wet-chemical post-treatment process that creates hierarchical porosity, which improves diffusion, enhances activity, and significantly extends catalyst life.

The company’s patented process portfolio transforms standard industrial zeolites into high-performance catalysts, without changing the underlying zeolite chemistry. This enables plug-and-play compatibility with existing infrastructure, at low CAPEX and low OPEX, and with no harmful chemicals involved.

Applications include:

• Optimizing and decarbonizing current refining processes

• Enabling economically viable sustainable fuels and bio-based chemicals production

• Advancing plastic waste recycling

Zeopore’s value proposition is crystal clear: lower CO₂ emissions (up to 2% of global refining footprint), enhanced catalyst lifespans, and performance gains that translate to an added value of approximately €15 million per refinery per year. The catalytic benefits and economic viability are not just theoretical: they are confirmed by current customers in active application.

Proven platform, broad IP and multi-market reach

Zeopore’s innovation is backed by a robust and broad IP portfolio that covers process, product, and multiple application domains. Its competitive advantages are unmatched in the zeolite space:

• Applicable to all industrial zeolite types

• Scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly

• Applicable across multiple catalytic use cases and sectors

By enabling industrial customers to upgrade their existing catalysts at a fraction of the cost of new systems, Zeopore delivers both ecological and economic wins, a rare combination in the field of industrial chemistry.

Current traction includes customer orders across several applications, fulfilled via Zeopore’s own semi-industrial manufacturing unit in Belgium. This not only validates the scalability of the technology, but also establishes a direct revenue channel during the scale-up phase.

A clear path to growth and global impact

Zeopore is currently engaged in negotiations with multiple international customers and strategic partners. These collaborations are expected to propel the company toward a €25 million business by 2029, with a projected EBITDA margin of 30%, within a fast-growing $1.5 billion global market. Looking further, Zeopore’s long-term market potential is estimated at over €200 million.

The company’s product supply business model, based on supplying high performance zeolite catalysts and process know-how to partners in refining, chemicals, and sustainability sectors, allows for rapid scaling international deployment.

An exceptional moment for investment

Zeopore Technologies NV is uniquely positioned at the intersection of deep tech, sustainable industry, and profitable scale-up dynamics. The company has moved beyond TRL6 and is now seeking strategic growth capital to:

• Expand its engineering and application teams

• Scale production capacity

• Deepen commercial engagements with global players

• Accelerate IP deployment across new use cases

With proven industrial benefits, a lean business model, and a platform technology ready to disrupt a €1.5B market, Zeopore offers investors a rare chance to back a category leader in the making, one capable of transforming global catalysis and accelerating the transition to a cleaner, more efficient industrial economy.
