In Development
At River Birch, we’re pushing the boundaries of innovation with renewable energy products designed to achieve carbon negativity and zero emissions. Our cutting-edge technologies are focused on not just reducing, but reversing the environmental impact of energy production. By capturing and repurposing carbon, we are paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. Our commitment to carbon-negative solutions ensures that every product we develop contributes to a net-positive impact on the planet—advancing toward a world where zero emissions are not just a goal, but a reality.
Beverage-Grade CO2
In working towards its carbon capture and carbon negativity goals, River Birch is developing a purified and liquefied beverage-grade CO2 product made by repurposing CO2 byproduct from renewable natural gas.
Anaerobic Digester
By implementing an anaerobic digester, River Birch transforms organic material into biogas, which enhances renewable natural gas production while maintaining a low carbon footprint.
Tires & Plastics
River Birch is developing solutions to convert tire chips and plastics into renewable CO2. Other alternative solutions include green methanol and sustainable fuels.
