In the Netherlands, BTG Bioliquids BV (BTL), and NanosTech Technology & Innovations (NanosTech) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver a fully integrated solution to produce advanced, drop-in biofuels.
The partnership combines BTL’s fast pyrolysis technology, which converts sustainable biomass into bio-oil, with NanosTech’s proprietary Aquaprocessing (AQP) platform, which upgrades bio-oils into refinery-ready feedstocks to produce fuels such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel, and marine fuels.
The two companies are now actively collaborating to determine the location in Canada and Europe for the new 500-barrel-per-day modular biorefinery system. This system can be deployed near the feedstock source, reducing transportation emissions, the firm said.
The companies are actively engaging industrial and government stakeholders to accelerate deployment by the end of 2025.
