We upgrade pyrolysis oil into biocrude using a patented, simple, low-capex, separation process
Alder Renewable Crude: Drop-in feedstock for refineries for FCC co-processing and hydrotreating
Alder Pyrolytic Sugars: Marine biofuel blendstock that is less expensive and more scalable than biodiesel
ARC is compatible with the two largest refinery operations to produce renewable fuels and chemicals
Fluid Catalytic Cracking
- Feed flexible solution with low technical risk
- Incremental cost of production without external hydrogen
- Low capital cost for implementation
Hydrotreating
- Primary product is SAF
- Highly efficient conversion to liquid fuels
- Processed alone or with petroleum
APS-based marine fuel blends enable cleaner marine fuels without new engines or high costs
- Joint Development Agreement with Quadrise to deploy emulsion technology for APS marine fuel blends
- Full use of biogenic carbon using proprietary emulsion formulation and native APS
Lowest-cost, infrastructure-ready biofuel.
No billion-dollar refinery investment needed.
Meets Biofuel Mandates
Cheaper than used cooking oil
Delivers lowest cost of CO2 abatement for advanced biofuels
Infrastructure Compatible
No billion-dollar investment
Use existing refinery assets to avoid 5+ years of construction
Scalable Feedstock
56 billion+ gal potential today
Sourced solely from woody residues in North America and EU
Clear roadmap to market with an established track-record of federal grant support, completed commercial design, and 1st commercial facility site identified
Building momentum with technology validation, strategic partnerships, and new projects
Together with Boeing and Bioénergie AE Côte-Nord, we are launching Project Avance to produce SAF from sawmill residues in Port-Cartier, Québec. Boeing is investing CAD $10 million in the project as part of its Industrial and Technological Benefits commitment to Canada. The project will use Alder’s technology to produce Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) for hydrotreating into SAF and other hydrocarbon fuels.
Through a Joint Development Agreement with Quadrise, Alder is demonstrating Alder Pyrolytic Sugars (APS) as a renewable feedstock for advanced marine fuels. By combining our biomass conversion technology with Quadrise’s bioMSAR™ platform, the collaboration aims to deliver a scalable and cost-effective pathway to decarbonize the shipping industry—one of the hardest sectors to abate.
With NREL and industry partners, Alder has demonstrated that Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) can be co-processed in a pilot Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit to produce gasoline, jet, diesel, and marine fuels in high yield and high quality. The next steps under evaluation is commercial-scale FCC trials with industry partners, paving the way for rapid deployment of low-carbon fuels using existing refinery infrastructure.
