Catalyst science, built in Calgary

The breakthrough
is the catalyst.

We engineer nanocatalysts that deliver noble‑metal performance at base‑metal cost — for renewable fuel refining, CO₂‑to‑syngas conversion, and cleaner heavy oil recovery on the infrastructure the world already runs on.

One platform. Many solutions.

Catalytic platforms,
not single‑use fixes.

Every NanosTech technology uses the same nanocatalyst design — engineered for durability in harsh, water‑rich environments and manufacturable at industrial scale with standard equipment.

  • Scalable with standard manufacturingNo rare metals, no exotic reactor chemistry, no bespoke supply chain.
  • Stable where others failProven performance in steam, produced water, and high‑sulfur feedstocks.
  • Lower cost per unit of impactNoble‑metal selectivity at a fraction of the cost. Economically self‑justifying.
Our solutions

Two segments. One catalyst platform.

We apply the same nanocatalyst to the two problems that define the energy transition: decarbonizing the oil the world still needs, and making renewable fuels and carbon conversion economically viable.

Segment 01

Clean Energy Solutions

Renewable fuels and circular carbon — the chemistries next-generation refineries are being designed around.

OxoHydro · Renewable Fuels

Biocrudes and renewable feeds into clean fuels.

OxoHydro upgrades pyrolysis oils and HTL bio-oils from forestry residues, waste tires, and industrial streams into refinery-ready fuel. No dewatering, no external hydrogen.

Olympia™ · Carbon Management

CO₂ into the building blocks of fuel.

Olympia™ drives reverse water‑gas shift at lower temperatures with near-100% CO selectivity, converting captured CO₂ into syngas for fuels and circular chemistry.

Segment 02

Responsible Oil Production

Lower‑emission, higher‑value barrels from the infrastructure the industry already owns.

AQP · InnoFuel Refinery

Hydrogenate and crack in a single reactor.

AQP combines hydrogenation and steam cracking in one reactor, with no external hydrogen required. AQP Plus extends reach to the most challenging heavy feedstocks.

ISUT® · Eco‑Friendly Production

Upgrade heavy oil inside the reservoir.

ISUT® injects nanocatalyst into the formation, upgrading bitumen underground. Cleaner barrels, higher yield, lower production cost. No surface upgrading required.

How we build

Green chemistry, engineered
for industrial reality.

We don't ship a pitch deck. Every catalyst leaving our Calgary facility is validated against the constraints that actually govern production: cost, durability, throughput, and the people running the plant.

01 · DESIGN

Minimize waste at the molecular level

Catalysts engineered to convert more feed, leave less residue, and retire cleanly.

02 · MAKE

In‑house manufacturing, pilot to plant

Our 10,000 sq ft facility produces the catalyst we design. No translation loss.

03 · PROVE

Demonstration‑scale, not slideware

Every claim is tested on real feedstocks, in real reactors, under operating conditions.

04 · SCALE

Drop‑in on existing infrastructure

Solutions deploy onto today's assets. No refinery rebuild, no new supply chain.

Peer‑reviewed science

Peer-reviewed at lab scale. Proven at commercial scale.

Independent scientists published our α‑Mo₂C catalyst in Science — validating the foundation. We've done something harder: scaled it from discovery to a full commercial catalyst family, developed and validated at our Calgary facility. The journal confirmed our scientists are exceptional. The rest, they built themselves.
