OUR PROJECTS
Expander Energy is actively translating our innovative clean fuel technologies into tangible, impactful projects across Canada and beyond. From our flagship commercialization efforts to a robust pipeline of future developments, each project is a testament to our commitment to decarbonizing essential transport sectors, creating value from waste, and building a sustainable energy future.
Explore how we are bringing the next generation of clean fuels to market.
1. The Wheatland Bio-Synfuels Facility - EBTL®
Our flagship Enhanced Biomass to Liquids (EBTL®) project - The Wheatland Bio-Synfuels Facility near Carseland, Alberta, is a commercial facility that will transform locally sourced landfill redirect wood waste into millions of liters of Bio-SynJet® and Bio-SynDiesel® annually, integrating advanced carbon capture for deep decarbonization and showcasing Canada's renewable fuel potential.
2. The Mackenzie Biomass Based E-fuels Facility - BETL®
Our flagship Biomass Electrolysis to Liquids (BETL®) project - The Mackenzie Biomass Based E-fuels Facility in Mackenzie, BC, is a commercial facility transforming locally sourced sawmill waste and forestry residues into millions of liters of Bio-SynJet® and Bio-SynDiesel® annually, using hydro electricity powered electrolyzers for deep decarbonization and showcasing Canada's renewable fuel potential.
We are pioneering e-fuel production with our patented BETL® technology, co-developed with CNL. The Mackenzie E-fuels Facility will de-risk large-scale BETL® projects planned for southern BC, Ontario, and Quebec, leveraging clean hydro and nuclear electricity.
3. Expanding Our Impact: The EBTL® Bio-Synfuel Project Pipeline
Expander is advancing a pipeline of EBTL® (Enhanced Biomass to Liquids) projects across Western Canada, including Slave Lake, Fort St John, Dawson Creek, and Alberta's Industrial Heartland. These future facilities are designed to convert local biomass into significant volumes of renewable fuels annually, integrating Carbon Capture for near-zero or negative emissions.
4. Expanding Our Impact: The BETL® Biomass Based E-fuel Project Pipeline
Expander is advancing a pipeline of BETL® (Biomass Electrolysis to Liquids) projects across Canada, in places like British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec where renewable or nuclear power is available. These future facilities are designed to convert local biomass and low carbon intensity electricity into significant volumes of renewable fuels annually.
5. Future Vision: CETL® – Creating Fuels from Captured CO₂
Our future-focused CETL® initiative, in partnership with CNL, is advancing groundbreaking research to convert captured CO₂ directly into synthetic e-fuels. Pilot-scale development, supported by federal funding, is currently underway to create a truly circular carbon economy for fuels.
OUR TECHNOLOGY PATHWAYS
Our projects are strategically designed to leverage regional strengths, utilize diverse sustainable feedstocks, and deploy the optimal Expander technology pathway—whether it's advanced biomass conversion with carbon capture (EBTL™) or cutting-edge e-fuel production using green hydrogen (BETL™).
