Rivan Industries is a pioneering synthetic fuel company focused on decarbonizing heavy industry. Our mission is to make synthetic fuel more affordable than fossil fuels, thereby sustaining life on Earth by keeping CO2 locked underground. We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants that include a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor. These plants are integrated with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. We have recently deployed the UK's largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to significantly scale our operations.
