Rivus Batteries uses metal-free organic flow battery technology with water-based organic electrolytes made from abundant materials. The proprietary design offers non-flammable, non-explosive characteristics, non-corrosive operation, long-duration energy storage in external tanks, maintenance-friendly performance, extended lifespan, and reduced production costs and environmental impact.
Rivus’s products are organic flow battery systems for utility-scale long-duration energy storage, featuring external electrolyte tanks for scalable capacity, stable power output, and safe, cost-effective operation without rare battery metals.
In 2024, Rivus secured €525,000 funding, unveiled its first full-scale prototype, planned a market release in 2025, scaled up electrolyte production, initiated pilot battery installations, and joined the West Swedish Chemical and Material Cluster and the CEROF-project.
Investors include Xista Science Ventures, NAVCAP AB, EIT InnoEnergy, and the Swedish Energy Agency. The company also participates in the Vinnova Deep Tech Accelerator Program.
