Technology
Our pioneering Cat-HTR™ platform uses hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), the next-generation of advanced recycling.
Cat-HTR™ uses water, under high pressure and temperature, to economically and efficiently transform a wide range of biomass and plastic wastes and residues into a high-quality, sustainable oil; a direct substitute for fossil crude.
It is globally recognised as the most commercially advanced technology of its kind.
Biomass
Our Cat-HTR™ offers a high value, low emissions alternative to burning or burying of biomass, helping to transition to a low-carbon economy.
Plastic
The next-generation of advanced recycling, Cat-HTR™ is unique among plastic to oil technologies, delivering higher value and lower emissions than other approaches.
Alliances
We partner with other industry leaders who share our vision for a lower carbon future. Our Cat-HTR™ technology is at the core of our partner’s commercial roll-out.
Cat-HTR
Compared to pyrolysis and gasification, our hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) process is more efficient and flexible, delivering higher value with lower emissions.
Technology with impact.
The Cat-HTR™ is unique among plastic to oil technologies. Proven to process a huge range of mixed End-of-Life plastics, including multi-layer packaging.
It is a pioneering advanced recycling solution, enabling a circular economy for all plastic.
It helps to close the loop on the ~90% of plastic that still goes to landfill globally. Diverting plastic from our oceans, and enabling more plastic to remain in circulation – reducing the demand for new fossil oil.
Utilising water, our HTL process is able to deliver higher value with a lower carbon footprint, compared to older approaches such as pyrolysis.
