The Problem

Australia is almost entirely reliant on imports of refined fuels and crude to meet consumption. In FY2021, 91 per cent of all fuel consumed in Australia was imported. This includes 68 per cent imported as refined crude, while 71 per cent of fuel refined in Australia is imported as crude and condensate.

Fuel security has decreased over the last decade. Five Australian refineries have closed over the last decade leaving only two Australian refineries in operation - Ampol’s Lytton refinery and Viva’s Geelong refinery. Our strategic fuel supply is particularly vulnerable as our two remaining refineries are set up to produce largely petrol rather than aviation fuel and diesel.

This creates a glaring problem for all industries across Australia, in particular road freight and logistics companies which, when it comes to the transport of non-bulk freight, a broad category which includes foods, drinks, produce, post, manufactured goods and most other items, are responsible for transporting 79.8% of in 2021-2022.

Our technology converts feedstocks into a synthetic gas, oil and mineralised ash:

At least 2x the efficiency of other technologies
Product pricing will be lower than fossil energy and fuels

Modular solution allows the development of bespoke distributed facilities:

Scalable to meet feedstock availability and/or market demand
At a lower capex compared to other technologies
Enables distributed employment opportunities across Regional Australia

Feedstock moisture content up to 70% (eliminating drying processes):

Allows for larger range of waste feedstocks and reduces supply chain risks
Decreases energy consumption costs across parasitic load

Our energy and fuels will reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions:

Life Cycle Assessments will show minimum of 90% lower emissions compared to fossil equivalents
Removes ~100,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per a standard size facility per annum compared to fossil fuel equivalents
