Company Background Rive is an early-stage clean energy company, commercializing advanced catalyst technology for petroleum refining to 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. Rive recently closed on a $14 million round of venture capital financing and has raised over $22 million in venture capital from Charles River Ventures (www.crv.com), Advanced Technology Ventures (www.atvcapital.com) and Nth Power (www.nthpower.com). With this new financing, Rive is rapidly accelerating its commercialization plan, including the establishment of an R&D site in the Princeton, NJ area.
