Advanced Biorefinery Platform for Sustainable Fuels

EcoCeres is a renewable energy innovator dedicated to transforming biomass waste into sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials. With over a decade of expertise in biomass utilization, the company develops proprietary technologies to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (HVO) as a renewable diesel alternative, and Cellulosic Ethanol (CE) as a gasoline blend.

Solar and Wind Power Excess to Biogas Production

Reverion, a German-based startup, is developing new generation micropower plants that maximize the potential of biogas and utilize excess solar wind and wind power that would otherwise go to waste. Reverion has patented and validated a novel technology based on high-temperature fuel cells. This is the first all-in-one solution with a reversible system design that electrochemically converts biogas or hydrogen into electricity with an efficiency of 80% and can switch to electrolysis mode to produce green hydrogen or methane. 

SixRing™ Process for Biomass Transformation

SixRing™ specializes in converting sustainable biomass into high-value intermediates, fine chemicals, biofuels, and advanced materials using patented chemical compositions and low-energy processes. The technology operates under ambient conditions, efficiently extracting cellulose and Lignin-Hemicellulose-Depolymerized-Organics™ (LHDO™) from biomass. These components can be upgraded to biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), diesel, and gasoline.

Waste Conversion into Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals

Enerkem specializes in converting waste materials into biofuels and renewable chemicals using patented gasification technology. This process utilizes waste and biomass residues from municipal, commercial, and industrial sources. The waste is initially sorted to remove recyclable and inert components, then shredded and dried for further processing. In the gasification phase, the prepared waste is fed into a proprietary bubbling fluidized bed gasification vessel, where it reacts with steam and oxygen to break down molecules and produce a mixture called syngas.

Aldehyde-assisted fractionation (AAF) technology

Bloom Bio Renewables uses aldehyde-assisted fractionation (AAF) to separate cellulose and stabilize lignin polymers and hemicellulose-derived sugars in biomass. Due to this stabilization, lignin and hemicellulose can be valorized more efficiently, allowing Bloom to transform them into various products. These lignin-derived products are antioxidant, antimicrobial, water-soluble, and efficient in low concentrations. They also filter UV rays and function as excellent emulsifiers and dispersants.

Bio-Based Acrylonite (bio-ACN™) from Glycerol

Trillium has developed a technology that produces bio-ACN™ from glycerol. Glycerol is a renewable feedstock that is a byproduct of converting natural oils and fats into soaps, detergents, and biofuels. Bio-ACN™ has a 70% lower carbon footprint than petroleum-based acrylonitrile. This process is scalable and cost-competitive due to the use of an efficient catalytic process that dehydrates glycerin to acrolein. Acrylonitrile is then produced by reacting acrolein with oxygen and ammonia.

Renewable Fuels Made From Agricultural and Industrial Waste

Aemetis specializes in the production of biofuels, renewable chemicals, and carbon capture technologies for renewable fuels. The company operates ethanol production facilities and is expanding with new projects focused on renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. Aemetis utilizes advanced technologies to convert agricultural and industrial feedstocks (such as orchard wood waste) into ethanol, other biofuels, and renewable chemicals like isobutanol.
