The Problem

Limited Domestic Feedstock for Refining

Growing demand for advanced fuels and carbon products is outpacing domestic supply.

The Result

Supply constraints, higher costs​, and stalled projects.

Limited domestic feedstock
Existing waste oils and fats are constrained and increasingly expensive as demand grows.
Expanding supply vs. demand gap​
Aviation, marine, and other strategic carbon markets require scalable, infrastructure-compatible solutions.
High capital costs stunt projects ​
New facilities require significant capital, while existing refinery infrastructure remains underutilized.

The Solution

Alder Unlocks a New Supply Chain​

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

Scaling with Existing Refinery Infrastructure

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 Milestone for Advanced Biofuels

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.
