Reverion: Breaking the Wall to Climate Positive Power
Reverion’s mission is to make carbon-negative power generation possible at scale and become the first cost competitive BECCS technology in the market. They are starting with biogas: the only renewable energy source that can provide both secure base load and control power for the fluctuating feed-in from wind and photovoltaics.
As a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, they have developed and patented the first all-in-one power plant that has the following three main characteristics. 1. It electrochemically converts biogas or hydrogen into electricity with highest electrical efficiencies of 80% (which doubles the efficiency of state-of-the-art solutions). 2. It has a reversible operation mode and can also produce green hydrogen or methane from electricity (Power-to-Gas). 3. It captures pure, storable CO2, enabling cost-effective, negative CO2 emissions for the first time.
Reverion power plants consist of standardized container units. These are designed for series production and plug&play installation to easily replace existing gas engines.
