Wielding Plasma to Reform Matter
The Science
of Matter
Plasma is the most abundant state of matter in the universe — the glow of every star, the flash of every lightning strike, the shimmer of the aurora. Strip the electrons from a gas and it becomes plasma: electrically charged, intensely energetic, and able to break molecules apart at their bonds.
Explore each natural plasma phenomenon — see it recreated as lab plasma
The use of electric and magnetic fields to mimic cosmic plasma dynamics led us to the discovery of practical control and stability solutions for industrial applications.
The Path
Maximizing humanity's resource utilization —with plasma.
Plasma can reform matter. Rimere is proving what that unlocks — on Earth first, and built to go further.
Earth is the proving ground, and the natural gas resource is where we start — one resource of many. Our technologies create value from otherwise under-utilized streams that current industrial processes cannot capture.
Aira reforms methane-bearing gas on site — abatement and syngas. Sol reforms natural gas into custom carbon nano materials and clean hydrogen, tuned to specification.
Custom carbon and clean hydrogen are the current focus on the path — not the category. Rimere is a plasma company: the platform reforms matter, whatever the resource.
Plasma enables space. Resources are limited beyond Earth — our technology enables their use, from the Moon and Mars outward.
The Rimere Plasma Technologies
Three Core Differentiators
Our plasma technologies are easy to construct, maintain, and assemble/disassemble and are designed specifically for user-friendly maintenance and efficient manufacturing methods.
Within a single technology, we apply multiple plasma chambers arranged serially to allow for the utilization of short-lived plasma chemistry and have advanced control over dissociation and recombination processes.
Patterned arrays of resonant electromagnetic cavities and/or electrodes distribute energy to the individual plasma zones. These excitation processes enable multi-mode operational flexibility.
Plasma informatics built in — multiple sequential plasmas · Developed for the harshest conditions
Pyrolysis Reactor
Matter reformation — solid carbon and hydrogen production.
Sol consists of multiple controlled plasmas to separate methane into gaseous and solid-carbon outputs. Outputs are analyzed in real time, and the data informs in-situ product tuning tailored to the desired outputs of the end user.
Nanomaterial Production & Waste-to-Energy
- Creates new markets
- Multiple products
- Scalable modular architecture
- Feedstock flexibility
- Advanced carbon tuning
Pipeline natural gas enters a DBD cold plasma and is energized. Then a glide arc plasma ignites the first microwave plasma.
Multiple microwave plasma excitation zones, patterned along the length of the reaction chambers. The patterning is both the scaling mechanism and the control over what the carbon becomes. ICP plasmas enable fine-tuning control and chemistry optimization between sequential plasma zones.
Every carbon material Rimere makes comes from Sol — and they can vary largely in characteristics and structure.
Oxidation Reactor
Abatement and syngas production.
Methane-bearing gas that would otherwise be flared or vented, reformed on site into a selected output chemistry. Aira works across all scales of quality and services multiple flow ranges that current industrial processing cannot make use of — enabling true value utilization of currently wasted gas streams.
Emissions Control & Energy Production
- Flexible feedstock
- Reforms hydrocarbons into CO₂ + H₂O, or syngas — configured for the end user
Aira G3A
Ambient air enters a dielectric barrier discharge and is energized by cold plasma, creating oxygen radicals that lower the oxidation temperature and raise the reaction rate.
The methane-bearing gas meets those radicals in a glide-arc chamber, where arc discharges initiate and stabilize the oxidation.
Thermal energy is recovered and reused for minimized losses. What comes out: syngas, or carbon dioxide and water — configured for the end user.
For the first time, carbon output tuned to your spec and produced at industrial scale. Two problems the field never solved together, now solved at once with Rimere's Sol technology.
Same plasma system — multiple morphologies
Crumpled sheets and branched spheres are just two of the many products this same system can make — different morphologies emerge by tuning the input chemistry, field dynamics, plasma conditions, and flow dynamics.
The Current Opportunity
An Earth-scale resource is going to waste. We make it worth capturing.
The United States sits on millions of wells — abandoned, orphaned, or marginal — that are no longer economic to operate, many still leaking gas: resource, revenue, and emissions wasted all at once. Rimere's systems reform that gas into valuable materials on site, where the gas already is — turning stranded wells and wasted streams into production. And the scale is global: flaring alone burned off an estimated $54 billion of gas in 2025 (World Bank).
EPA's national inventory counts ~3.9 million abandoned wells — and only about 43% are plugged. The Interior Department estimates orphaned wells emit methane equivalent to more than 3.6 million cars, every year.
Of the 918,000+ wells producing in 2024, 78% were marginal wells near the end of their economic life — together yielding only about 6% of output (EIA). Uneconomic to operate, yet still sitting on the resource.
Gas burned or released rather than brought to market (EIA). Aerial surveys across six major basins measured losses near 2.4% of production — roughly three times official estimates, nearly $1B a year of lost gas in those regions alone (Nature, 2024).
Methane is ~75% carbon by mass. That carbon spans the value ladder from commodity carbon black (~$1.4–2/kg) to graphene nanoplatelets ($50–500/kg) — value Rimere's systems are built to capture, on site.
Demand for what this resource can become is massive. The supply chain is broken.
Global demand for high-quality nano-carbon materials is accelerating across batteries, semiconductors, advanced composites, and construction — but supply has not kept pace with the demand.
Supply chain fragmentation, inconsistent product quality, and the inability to customize formulations for specific applications have left manufacturers settling for inferior materials or expensive alternatives.
The United States has the largest natural gas pipeline network in the world — a trillion-dollar distribution infrastructure reaching every major industrial center. Rimere's systems create value wherever that network, and the wells that feed it, already reach.

The Mission
Earth is the proving ground.Off-world resource utilization is the horizon.
01 · The proving ground — Earth
True utilization of the natural gas resource.
From wasted or unused gases to tailored outputs worth serious value.
Aira can utilize marginal well output and other “lower-flow” or “transient-flow” sources — a massive opportunity that no one has met. Rimere's plasma technologies can meet these needs and enable a new tier of natural gas utilization.
The demand for tuned and structured carbon nano materials at scale is not being met. Sol is the only platform that simultaneously addresses production quantities, structure specificity, input quality flexibility, and transport — in one platform.
The United States has the largest natural gas network in the world, and imports most of the advanced carbon material it uses. Making it here, from domestic gas, bolsters and secures our national supply chain.
Our technologies create value from otherwise under-utilized resources that current industrial processes cannot capture.
02 · The horizon — Beyond Earth
Resources are limited beyond Earth. Our plasma technology enables their use.
Operating beyond Earth depends on using what resources are available. Whether that's asteroids or comets, the Moon, or Mars, our plasma technologies will be employed for mining, transforming, and utilizing these resources.
Electricity and feedstocks are both available beyond Earth. All that's needed is a Rimere reactor. Other technologies — furnaces, catalyst beds, chemical plants — do not travel well.
Rimere plasma technology is designed for Earth and beyond: rated for multiple environments, feedstock-flexible, and constructed with advanced, efficient manufacturing. We are optimizing for the constraints of space because they are relevant on Earth as well.
Modular — capacity arrives in units. Tunable — one system can serve more than one need. Serviceable — parts can be manufactured and easily repaired by integrated robots. Our technologies are built to scale into space by design.
