How to change the energy market forever. Meet Rivan’s CEO, Harvey Hodd.

Harriet sits down with Harvey Hodd, who is working on a 20-year plan to build and scale synthetic fuels – changing how humans generate energy forever. Rivan is developing a new way to produce synthetic natural gas using sunlight, water, and captured CO2 – with the aim of decarbonising industries that cannot easily be electrified.Harvey explains how Rivan’s fully vertically integrated model, in-house manufacturing, and low-cost solar strategy could transform the economics of synthetic fuels, direct air capture, and industrial decarbonisation.They discuss: Why cheap solar changes everything for industrial energyThe benefits of vertical integration in climate tech and hard techBuilding advanced manufacturing in London and scaling UK industryHiring, apprenticeships, curiosity, and how Rivan evaluates talentCapitalism, innovation, energy abundance, and the future of climate solutionsRivan’s £25M Series A and plans to build the largest synthetic natural gas plant in Europe#Rivan #HarveyHodd #ClimateTech #CleanEnergy #UKStartups #FounderInterviewCheck out Rivan:https://rivan.com/https://www.linkedin.com/company/rivanindustries/https://www.linkedin.com/in/harveyhodd/ More on Basis:https://www.buildbasis.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@BasisCapital https://www.linkedin.com/company/basiscapitalltd/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/harrietsgreenSubscribe for more conversations on rebuilding institutions, incentives and public services.
