Rimere is on a mission to solve climate change and meet the energy needs of the future. Our two devices use advanced plasma technology to break apart methane at a molecular level before recombining the elements into valuable new compounds. This allows us to mitigate methane emissions, develop zero-emission hydrogen, and produce graphene, a solid nanocarbon with extraordinary properties.
