About M2X

M2X Energy is a well-funded venture start-up, established by Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Our mission is to reduce the amount of natural gas that is flared and instead to create economically viable products. M2X Energy was founded on the belief that climate change must be addressed in our lifetime, and that solutions must be economically viable to have the greatest impact. Today M2X Energy is rethinking how fuels and chemicals are made to minimize wasteful gas flaring and reduce the associated environmental and social consequences. M2X is rapidly growing and the demand for converting stranded, uneconomic natural and associated gas to valuable low-carbon fuels and chemicals is strong! M2X is rapidly growing as it transitions a new technology focused on engineering and manufacturing modular, mobile gas-to-methanol “chemical plant on wheels.” Our facilities include office space, manufacturing areas, and general warehouse and shipping/receiving areas.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a team that reflects the diversity of the people we hope to serve with our global, revolutionary products. M2X is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
