PATENTED CATALYTIC PYROLYSIS

We turn waste
into fuel.

BioEnergy Fuels converts used oil, crude, tires, and biomass into clean, high-value liquid fuels with a patented catalyst that wastes nothing.

Technology Origins

Our mission is to provide waste valorization services while producing sustainable biofuels. In accordance with our mission, in 2021 we partnered with USU and began funding their research on the bauxite residue catalytic pyrolysis process. BioEnergy Fuels now has exclusive rights to this patented technology.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The catalyst is
the breakthrough.

Our patented bauxite-residue catalyst, derived from 98% waste material, upgrades low-value feedstocks into cleaner-burning fuels. It rejects oxygen as CO2, resists metal poisoning, regenerates for reuse, and outperforms zeolite and FCC catalysts at a fraction of the cost.
