Introduction
NeoZeo AB is a Swedish small-and-medium enterprise in Stockholm, Sweden. The company designs and manufactures biogas upgrading modules that are suited for small-scale flows of raw biogas.

The company was founded by Dr. Petr Vasiliev, Professor Niklas Hedin and Professor Lennart Bergstrom in February 2010. All three are closely affiliated with Arrhenius Laboratory of Stockholm University. Their research led to the development and patenting of a novel absorbent with a high affinity for absorbing carbon dioxide which is used for module operations. The module uses the process of vacuum pressure swing absorption (VPSA).

History
NeoZeo AB has its roots in the NanoMonolith project based on research by Dr. Petr Vasiliev, Professor Lennart Bergstrom and Professor Niklas Hedin in 2007.

The NanoMonolith project featured a new method of packing powders into stable porous bodies. By allowing the synthesis of micro-porous catalytic reactors without the use of binders, this technology was able to produce pellets with a greater mechanical stability than current methods.

The work of Vasiliev, Bergstrom and Hedin gained traction in June 2007 when they acquired their first round of funding of SEK100,000 from research-based investment firm Innovationsbron AB. The team also received recognition by SU Innovation as the Best Business Idea from the university in the same year. In 2008, the team secured two more rounds of funding; a secondary funding trench of SEK100,000 from Innovationsbron and an innovation prize of SEK120,000 from Stockholm City.

In August 2009, the team applied for and received SEK 2 million from Vinnova under the Verifiering för Tillväxt (VTF) call. Two months later, NanoMonolith was selected to represent the Stockholm School of Economics Sweden (SSES) at the international business competition Venture Challenge in San Diego, California.

In February 2010, NanoMonolith was renamed to NeoZeo. NeoZeo AB was registered as a company under the Swedish Companies Registration Office or bolagsverket in the same month.

Products
NeoZeo offers a biogas upgrading module that is designed to upgrade biogas to biomethane for small-medium flow rates of below 200 Nm3/h. The module consists of a series of equipment housed in a 20-foot or 40-foot compact shipping container and utilizes vacuum pressure swing absorption (VPSA).
