Offer description

Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground.

We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, whilst vertically integrating with off‑grid DC solar and the European gas‑grid. Here’s our entire business plan. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.

After proving our technology over the last 18‑months, we’re now embarking on our next project – to build the world’s largest synthetic fuel plants across the UK and Spain. Our projects will rapidly scale from 10MW up to 1GW, producing >1TWh of synthetic natural gas every year, distributed all over Europe to decarbonise areas you can’t electrify. We’re looking for someone that has the scar‑tissue of navigating the planning and permitting process of large‑scale solar in Spain and the UK, to drive our solar efforts forward and bring these projects to life. If you want to be able to look back and say you had a key role in decarbonising the future of earth, make this role yours.
