What are rivus batteries?

Rivus batteries are part of the solution to achieve a more flexible energy system with fewer emissions and a reliable supply of power. Low environmental footprint compared to metal-based batteries

Do rivus batteries require metals to be mined?

Rivus batteries, unlike other leading technologies on the market, require no metals to be mined. Lithium-ion and Vanadium redox flow batteries have a high environmental price as the extraction process is bad for the environment.

How did rivus become a greener battery alternative?

In 2016 Dr. Cedrik Wiberg decided to pursue a PhD to identify a greener battery alternative. Supported by academia, pivotal organic molecule testing led to the discovery of Rivus’ core technology and first patent filing in 2019. Commercialization began in early 2023 as Dr. Wiberg left academia and Andreas Kölling joined as COO.

Why do we need rivus batteries?

Rivus’ ambition is to keep our supply chain on a national level, our batteries can be produced in most countries lowering our environmental footprint. This means we have a more secure supply chain and our batteries are less vulnerable to resource scarcity.

How does rivus produce negative electrolyte?

In producing Rivus' negative electrolyte, we bind four carbon dioxide molecules to our organic molecule. This means that for every kWh of the energy we sell, we will also bind 3.3 kg of CO2, resulting in a more ecological and affordable battery. Sustainability is part of our batteries.

What is rivus technology?

Rivus’ core technology is based on seven years of research conducted across Chalmers University of Technology, University of Turku and the Technical University of Denmark. Join our team! In 2016 Dr. Cedrik Wiberg decided to pursue a PhD to identify a greener battery alternative.
