Licella’s patented Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR™) is the world’s leading HTL technology. Using the power of hot, pressurised water to produce an advanced bio-intermediate, a renewable substitute for fossil oil. It is innovation inspired and driven by nature itself.

2024年9月30日 · The collaboration combines Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ hydroprocessing technology and expertise with Licella’s Cat-HTR™ (Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor) technology, an advanced form of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) …

HTL process produces high yields of low CI biocrude. Low CI is a net result of embracing feed moisture, lower reaction temperatures, energy dense biocrude produced in high yield.

Using Cat-HTR™ technology, biomass undergoes hydrothermal liquefaction. This process harnesses high-pressure, high-temperature water to efficiently break down complex organic structures in biomass, transforming them into high-quality renewable bio-oil.

Arbios Biotech was formed to commercialise Licella’s Cat-HTR™ platform, a globally leading hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology, for various forms of wood and post-consumer biomass around the world, particularly in North America, South America and Europe.

2024年10月22日 · Licella’s Cat-HTR™ converts agricultural residues and other forms of biomass into renewable biocrude, while Shell Catalysts & Technologies will upgrade the biocrude into refined, low-carbon fuels. This alliance positions the companies to reduce SAF production costs and promote sustainable fuel adoption globally.

The Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR™) technology is an advanced form of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), developed by Licella. It used hot, pressurised water to produce a bio-intermediate (bio-oil) – a renewable substitute for conventional fossil oil.

2019年11月1日 · Licella has built a pilot plant of the Cat-HTR TM process at Somersby, NSW, Australia which is capable of processing up to 7500 tonnes per annum of organic matter into bio-crude [70].
