OxoHydro turns pyrolysis oils and HTL bio-oils from forestry residues, waste tires, and industrial waste streams into refinery-ready fuel. It deploys at the source. No reformer. No external hydrogen. No infrastructure to justify before the first barrel.
Refineries can't process bio-oils as-is. Most renewable oil producers have nowhere to sell.
The OxoHydro catalyst is built on α-Mo₂C, a non-sulfide, water-tolerant active phase that generates hydrogen from the feedstock itself. Most catalysts break down where ours starts working.
Renewable feedstocks are wet and oxygen-rich. Most catalysts deactivate in those conditions within hours. Ours doesn't. No dewatering or pretreatment means you keep the biogenic carbon instead of losing it before the reaction even starts.
Stable with 50%+ water contentConventional catalysts need sulfiding agents to activate, which produces H₂S and rules out most bio-based feeds. Our catalyst needs none of that. No H₂S, no amine scrubber, no extra unit operations.
No H₂S. No amine plants.OxoHydro generates its own hydrogen from the feedstock gases. It runs on wet, variable feeds without a reformer or a gas pipeline. No external H₂, no dependency on natural gas.
No external H₂ supply neededThousands of hours across eight feedstock types. The numbers below are measured outputs, not projections.
Among the highest-TAN feedstocks we've run. OxoHydro eliminated total acidity and cut oxygen from 11.3% to 2.4%, with no catalyst deactivation over the full 1,896 hours.
Dairy waste HTL arrives dense, high in nitrogen, and loaded with compounds that typically poison a catalyst fast. OxoHydro brought TAN, sulfur, and oxygen all to zero in 144 hours.
Waste tire oil is high in sulfur and hard to process cleanly. OxoHydro removed over 80% of it with stable operation across all 480 hours, no special handling required.
With 25% water and 51% oxygen, this feedstock would kill a conventional sulfide catalyst on contact. OxoHydro converted it to a refinery-miscible oil with zero TAN and 0.95 g/ml density, ready for SAF or renewable diesel production.
Also validated on municipal biosolids, aqueous sugar syrups, and co-processing of renewable + fossil feedstocks.
The α-Mo₂C catalyst powering OxoHydro was developed and scaled at our Calgary facility. We don't publish the full formulation. What we do publish: 1,896 continuous operating hours across 8 feedstocks. The Science paper validates the underlying low-temperature chemistry. The runtime validates everything else.
