Alder develops technology that converts abundant, domestic biomass into biocrude oils compatible with today’s refining infrastructure. Alder is uniquely positioned to enable existing refineries to produce advanced fuels and carbon products at a fraction of the capital and operating cost.
Our proprietary biocrude oil can be refined into a full portfolio of advanced fuels, chemicals, and carbon materials without costly refinery investments
Growing demand for advanced fuels and carbon products is outpacing domestic supply.
Supply constraints, higher costs, and stalled projects.



Meet current & future biocrude oil supply needs. No billion-dollar refinery conversion
Use abundant, domestic biomass
Utilize wood residues and energy crops that are readily available
Cost leader that can scale
High efficiency and low cost of production outperform alternative technologies
Minimal refinery investment
Leverage existing equipment to expand production & realize economies of scale

We work with industry, government, and academics to accelerate our technology commercialization

Building momentum with technology validation, strategic partnerships, and new projects

Alder Renewables, BASF, National Laboratory of the Rockies, and North Atlantic Refining co-authored a new Hydrocarbon Processing article on coprocessing Alder Renewable Crude in fluid catalytic crackers. The work highlights a practical pathway to produce renewable fuels with existing refinery assets, improved handling, better storage stability, strong yields, and biogenic carbon integration for today’s energy infrastructure at commercial scale globally.

Project Avance demonstrates a scalable, cost‑effective path to advanced biofuels by converting forestry residues into refinery‑ready ARC. The pilot campaign met performance targets, showing scientific and operational progress. By leveraging existing pyrolysis and refinery infrastructure, the approach reduces costs, enhances energy security, and proves abundant biomass can deliver viable low‑carbon fuels.
