Wastewater Fuels: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Wastewater Fuels is on a mission to change how we treat wastewater as a society. By extracting the chemical energy from various wastewaters, such as home sewage and industrial food wastes, we are turning a costly, energy-intensive business into a net energy generator. Our scalable, modular asset processes wastewater and generates hydrogen as a result. As 80% of wastewater is now not efficiently treated, selling the hydrogen might make wastewater treatment profitable everywhere. Government, academia, industry, and potential clients support us. With our Coventry office and lab facility, we are currently testing and optimising our design, and we are always open to new partnerships and collaborations.

About FundedIQ's Wastewater Fuels Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Wastewater Fuels is left off this page rather than filled in.
