LICENSING

Expander Energy offers licensing opportunities for its suite of innovative clean fuel technologies, enabling partners worldwide to produce high-value, low-carbon renewable fuels. Our portfolio is protected by intellectual property rights globally.

OUR LICENSED TECHNOLOGIES

EBTL™ (Enhanced Biomass to Liquids) Process

Expander Energy is the sole owner of this advanced, integrated process technology.
EBTL™ is designed for deep decarbonization, converting cellulosic biomass into premium Bio-SynDiesel® and Bio-SynJet®. It provides a clear pathway to near-zero or even net-negative emissions through its integration with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS).
This process is patented or has elements with patents pending worldwide

BETL™ (Biomass Electrolysis to Liquids) Process

This cutting-edge e-fuel technology was co-developed with Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), and the resulting integrated process is co-patented by Expander Energy and CNL. Expander Energy leads the commercialization efforts for this technology.
BETL™ combines biomass gasification (utilizing our ETI Tar-Free Gasifier) with "green" hydrogen produced from renewable or low-carbon intensity electricity via electrolysis. This integrated process yields ultra-low carbon intensity Bio-SynDiesel® and Bio-SynJet®.
This co-owned process is covered by granted patents and may have further patents pending worldwide.

ETI Tar-Free Biomass Gasifier

Expander Energy owns this patented, cornerstone gasification system.
The ETI Tar-Free Gasifier reliably converts diverse cellulosic biomass (such as wood waste and agricultural residues) into an exceptionally clean, tar-free synthesis gas (syngas). This high-quality syngas is a critical input for the efficient and reliable operation of the downstream Fischer-Tropsch fuel synthesis units within our licensed EBTL™ and BETL™ processes.
This gasification technology has a proven operational track record.

FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION

While our ETI Tar-Free Gasifier is optimized for wood waste and similar cellulosic biomass, Expander Energy also has cooperation agreements in place. These allow for the integration of other proven third-party gasification technologies within our EBTL™ and BETL™ process frameworks. This flexibility enables our licensed processes to effectively convert more complex feed streams, such as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), into clean syngas suitable for producing our high-quality liquid fuels.

Our Technology

PROVEN TRACK RECORD

Expander Energy has a history of successful technology development. We initially developed the Enhanced GTL (EGTL™) technology for converting natural gas to synthetic fuels. This technology was subsequently sold to Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Inc., facilitating the successful start-up of Canada’s first small-scale GTL facility near Calgary, Alberta, in January 2022. This achievement underscores our capability to develop robust, commercially viable process technologies that are attractive for real-world industrial application.
