We use Plasma to turn Natural Gas into Graphene + Hydrogen — all with zero carbon footprint.
The Science
of Matter
Plasma is the most abundant state of matter in the universe — the glow of every star, the flash of every lightning strike, the shimmer of the aurora. Strip the electrons from a gas and it becomes plasma: electrically charged, intensely energetic, and able to break molecules apart at their bonds.
Explore each natural plasma phenomenon — see it recreated as lab plasma
The use of electric and magnetic fields to mimic cosmic plasma dynamics led to the discovery of practical control and stability solutions for industrial applications.
The Rimere Plasma Technologies
Three Core Differentiators
Our plasma technologies are easy to construct, maintain, and assemble/disassemble and are designed specifically for user-friendly maintenance and efficient manufacturing methods.
Within a single technology, we apply multiple plasma chambers arranged serially to allow for the utilization of short-lived plasma chemistry and have advanced control over dissociation and recombination processes.
Patterned arrays of resonant electromagnetic cavities and/or electrodes distribute energy to the individual plasma zones, driving a sequential excitation process.
Sol
Pyrolysis Reactor
Hydrogen and carbon nano-materials production.
Pipeline natural gas flows into the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) chamber and is energized by a cold plasma, providing following benefits:
- Ignition of plasmoid
- E-field control
- Induced vibrational excitations of hydrocarbons
Sol's unique reactor architecture has multiple microwave plasma excitation zones that are patterned along the length of the reaction chambers. This provides an extraordinary scaling mechanism and an enhanced control over the carbon product characteristics.
Depending on the end user requirements, Sol can generate a range of carbon nanomaterials from 100% carbon of various morphologies, or functionalized with oxygen, or other elements to enable specific applications.
The same core technology produces a range of different high purity advanced nano-carbon products with unprecedented tuneability.
The Opportunity
Demand for carbon nano-materials is massive. The supply chain is broken.
Global demand for high-quality nano-carbon materials is accelerating across batteries, semiconductors, advanced composites, and construction — but supply has not kept pace with the need.
Supply chain fragmentation, inconsistent product quality, and the inability to customize formulations for specific applications have left manufacturers settling for inferior materials or expensive alternatives.
The United States has the largest natural gas pipeline network in the world — a trillion-dollar distribution infrastructure reaching every major industrial center. Rimere's Sol technology converts that pipeline into the world's first nano-material distribution network.

The Mitigator
Oxidation Reactor
Methane emissions control and syngas production.
Mitigator G3A
Ambient air flows into the Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) chamber and is energized by a cold plasma. This creates oxygen radicals that decrease the hydrocarbon oxidation temperatures and increases their reaction rates.
Natural gas is mixed into with the radicals generated from the DBD plasma within the Glide Arc reaction chamber where an electrical storm of arc discharges initiate and stabilize the oxidation of hydrocarbons.
Thermal energy generated for the oxidation reaction is recovered and utilized for energy generation, water heating and other applications. After 15 minutes of running the Mitigator, it will run 100% off the heat recovery system.
