…all the world’s [battery cell] production combined represents well under 10% of what we will need in 10 years. . . meaning, 90% to 95% of the supply chain does not exist.

Improving the Two Billion Existing Combustion Engines
Billions of combustion engines continue to operate worldwide. The combustion engine supply chain is robust, highly efficient, and consumer friendly—from manufacturing to energy distribution at fueling stations. Even as the world transitions to electric or hydrogen-based transportation, billions of traditional combustion engine vehicles will continue to operate on our roads for decades to come.

It will take at least 30 to 40 years to replace every internal combustion-engined vehicle out there with an EV.”

The Need to Curb Emissions
While many clean technologies are being developed for a hopeful future, Rivotto’s Nx25 is the bridge solutions that can immediately reduce greenhouse gasses, save fuel costs, and ease maintenance burdens.
For many industries, electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles and generators just aren’t an appropriate solution. They’re heavy, costly, and often unproven—which can lead to further complications, budget overruns, schedule delays, and even safety issues. Rivotto’s Nx25 IS READY now to make a difference.
Preventing Emissions, Year After Year
Rivotto Clean Air Technology systems are positioned to prevent up to 160 gigatons (351 trillion pounds) of CO2 equivalent emissions from entering our atmosphere between now and 2050.
- This figure represents 45% of global transportation emissions between now and 2050
- This modeling attempts to properly include clean electric transportation penetration rates, as reflected by the falling blue line in the accompanying chart
- This modeling also factors in accelerating penetration of Rivotto systems over the next 10 years, represented by the green portions of the chart.
Finding Hidden Efficiencies in Combustion Engines
The US Department of Energy suggests that improvements of up to 35% are possible relative to 2015 baseline engine performance levels—and we agree. Rivotto’s Clean Air Technology systems have already demonstrated up to 20% improvements to combustion engines, and have the potential for additional gains. By implementing more efficiencies, we can make combustion low-emission or nearly clean.
