Emvolon is a technology company developing a platform for distributed chemical production from resources that otherwise would be wasted. Its platform converts wasted natural gas at flare sites into usable chemicals for use in a broad array of industrial applications or as a fuel. The team is reimagining mass-produced diesel engines as miniature chemical reactors that can efficiently and effectively provide communities the raw materials they need, without building massive refineries and chemical plants.
