Radical Combustion Technologies develops retrofit combustion technology for legacy natural-gas engines used across pipeline transmission, gathering, processing, and industrial infrastructure. Its patented RCTClean system is designed to reduce nitrogen-oxide and methane emissions while improving combustion stability, reliability, and operating efficiency. Because the technology can be installed on existing engines rather than requiring full replacement, RCT is targeting a large emissions-compliance market with a potentially lower-cost and faster-deployment alternative to conventional control systems.
Richard Thompson is the Founder and CEO of Radical Combustion Technologies and an experienced entrepreneur focused on commercializing disruptive technologies. RCT’s public company profile states that he has served as CEO of six businesses since 1990, led multiple new-product launches, worked with private-equity firms on acquisitions and operational turnarounds, and helped pioneer telephone-based prescription-refill technology. He studied at Harvard Business School and now leads RCT’s commercialization, financing, industry-partnership, and market-development strategy.
