Rivan is building the infrastructure to produce synthetic fuels domestically in Europe, using renewable energy and carbon captured from the air.

Rivan vertically integrates solar generation, electrolysis, direct air capture and methanation to produce synthetic methane, a drop-in renewable substitute for natural gas. Its e-methane moves through existing gas infrastructure, creating a practical pathway to decarbonise heavy industry, transport and grid injection while strengthening Europe’s energy security.

Rivan was founded in 2024 by serial entrepreneur Harvey Hodd, and has assembled an elite team of 30+ electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineers working from its HQ in London.
