RIFT

RIFT develops and implements Iron Fuel projects for industrial heating. The company was founded in 2020 by three former members of the SOLID student team and has since grown into a player transitioning from technology development to commercial application.

After years of development, scaling up, and industrial validation, RIFT is working on the realization of its first commercial Iron Fuel project. The company is combining its own boiler technology with the development of fuel production and long-term supply to industrial customers.

With a strong financing base and European support, RIFT is preparing for operational deployment in 2029. At the same time, further technological development and optimization remains an integral part of the strategy.
