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 Synfuels Complex: Our Flagship Commercialization Initiative
Our flagship Wheatland Synfuels Complex in Carseland, Alberta, is a phased commercial facility transforming local waste like construction debris and used railway ties into millions of liters of Bio-SynDiesel® and Bio-SynJet® annually, integrating advanced carbon capture for deep decarbonization and showcasing Canada's renewable fuel potential.
2. Innovating E-Fuels: Our BETL™ Project Portfolio
We are pioneering e-fuel production with our patented BETL™ technology, co-developed with CNL. Expander intends to utilize the Carseland Synfuels Complex as a platform to commercially demonstrate our BETL™ technology through the installation of a PEM electrolyzer demonstration. This commercial demonstration will de-risk large-scale BETL™ projects planned for Northern BC, Ontario, and Quebec, leveraging clean electricity.
3. Expanding Our Impact: The EBTL™ 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. 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™).
