✨ - RIVUS Batteries is part of the Founders Loft incubato - ✨
The deep-tech company Rivus Batteries has been nominated as a finalist in the prestigious Startup 4 Climate Challenge. The event emphasizes the crucial role of innovation and collaboration in shaping a sustainable future. The challenge is directed towards young companies with transformative ideas that can accelerate the energy transition and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
The energy transition, a critical part of the fight against climate change, involves initiatives that promote the shift from existing energy and transportation systems to smarter, more efficient solutions that reduce humanity's negative impact on the planet. Rivus Batteries stands out among nine impressive startups, selected from a wide array of inspiring climate technology solutions. The company's innovation, the organic flow batteries, will be presented at the final pitch event taking place in Stockholm on November 15th.
About Rivus Batteries
Rivus is a cleantech start-up with the goal of providing society with a greener alternative to standard batteries. The technology is the result of founder Cedrik Wiberg's work and research.
Cedrik's journey began in 2016 when he decided to quit his job as an engineer because he wanted to do more meaningful work. Like so many other concerned citizens, Cedrik wanted to help tackle the climate crisis. When he decided to pursue a PhD, he began researching organic redox flow batteries. This was an area where there was room for innovation to develop environmentally friendly technology.
Determination to develop a technology that could provide society with a greener alternative to standard batteries led to early success. Testing of an organic molecule showed strong performance and this became the basis for Rivu's technology.
This exciting discovery kick-started the formation of the company Rivus.
Rivu's technology has developed in parallel with Cedrik's research career and gives it a solid scientific foundation. In its early stages, Rivus was aided by the support and encouragement of other academics and experts in related fields. InnoEnergy was an early investor and believed in Rivus.
This support and growing confidence in Rivu's technology led to another major breakthrough. The discovery of a way to bind CO2 as a resource for the battery meant that it would have a lower environmental impact than first thought.
