Raven
Raven produces renewable hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels from biomass and waste using a proprietary non-combustion process, aiming to commence commercial operations by 2024.
Services
Raven specializes in the production of renewable hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels derived from biomass and waste materials. Utilizing a proprietary non-combustion process, Raven converts organic waste and landfill gas into hydrogen and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels without the use of fresh water as a feedstock. The company offers modular and scalable solutions to produce renewable hydrogen and synthetic liquid fuels locally, ensuring efficient and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fuels.
Technology
Raven's technology centers on a non-combustion thermal process that converts biomass and waste into renewable hydrogen and synthetic fuels. The process is noteworthy for not requiring fresh water as a feedstock and is more energy-efficient than traditional methods like electrolysis. Additionally, Raven's Steam/CO2 Reforming process enables the production of fuels with low to negative carbon intensity, contributing to reducing greenhouse gases. The technology is designed to be modular and scalable, facilitating local production and reducing energy consumption.
Commercial Operations Timeline
Raven plans to begin commercial hydrogen production in early 2024, followed by the commencement of commercial operations for sustainable aviation fuel in 2025. The company's long-term goal includes producing 200,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually by 2034. Project plans include establishing facilities in major global markets in the United States and Europe to meet this ambitious target.
Richmond California Project
The Richmond, California facility marks Raven's first permitted biomass-to-renewable hydrogen project in the state. This project aims to meet the local hydrogen transportation fuel market's needs by providing a sustainable alternative to conventional fuels. The Richmond project exemplifies Raven's commitment to reducing environmental waste and producing carbon-negative fuels, positioning it as a leader in renewable energy solutions.
Sustainability Goals
Raven's mission is to create renewable hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels that have minimal environmental impact. By utilizing waste materials, their proprietary process not only produces fuel but also eliminates waste from the environment. The company's aim to produce fuels with low to negative carbon intensity aligns with their goal to offer sustainable energy solutions that combat climate change. Through their modular and scalable design, Raven plans to expand globally, having a significant positive environmental impact.
