Domestic synthetic fuels for industries that cannot electrify at scale
About Rivan Industries
Rivan Industries is a London synthetic-fuels company designing and manufacturing modular plants that produce Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) and related fuels for heavy industry—steel, cement, chemicals and aviation—where full electrification is hard at country scale. Founded to vertically integrate renewable generation, hydrogen and CO₂ feedstock, reactor synthesis and gas-grid injection with UK-made hardware, Rivan cites commissioning of what it describes as the UK’s largest SNG plant, sold-out planned production into 2029, and a leased 50,000 sq ft South London manufacturing facility (Production Base 1). After a £10 million seed with Plural and angels including Patrick and John Collison, Rivan raised a £25 million Series A (about €28.7 million / ~$34 million as reported in European press) in April 2026 led by IQ Capital with Plural and others, to deploy 15MW Project Starwell in Wiltshire—the first UK grid-connected commercial SNG injection—and scale manufacturing and R&D including DAC, electrolysis, reactors and solar.
