Rive Technology

edit

Rive is a clean energy company, commercializing advanced catalyst technology for petroleum refining to dramatically increase the yield of transportation fuels produced per barrel of crude oil. The proprietary technology, invented at MIT, makes traditional zeolite catalysts more accessible to large hydrocarbon molecules, allowing increased production of gasoline and diesel fuel. Rive’s new catalyst will fit readily into existing refineries and enable refiners to increase throughput and profitability with minimal capital investment.
