Biomass

Cat-HTR is the next-generation of biomass to oil technologies, offering a high value, low emissions alternative to burning or burying biomass, helping to transition to a low carbon circular economy.

Cat-HTR

Compared to both pyrolysis and gasification, the Cat-HTR™ process produces significantly higher yields of renewable biocrude, at a lower energy intensity.

Advantages for biomass

Compared to both pyrolysis and gasification, the Cat-HTR™ process produces significantly higher yields of biocrude at a lower energy intensity. 

Lower carbon footprint due to a relatively low reaction temperatures (~300°C) unlike pyrolysis (~500°C) and gasification (~700°C).  

HTL produces a superior biocrude vs. Pyrolysis: 

  • >50% more energy density (HHV); 
  • much lower oxygen content; 
  • less corrosive; 
  • easier to mix; 
  • more stable; 
  • easily transportable. 
  • HTL embraces moisture in biomass; 
  • ability to use wider range of feedstocks.
