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.

4. Expanding Our Impact: The BETL® Biomass Based E-fuel Project Pipeline

Expander Energy is actively developing a robust pipeline of future commercial facilities across Canada, each designed to leverage our advanced BETL® (Biomass Electrolysis to to Liquids) technology. This innovative process efficiently converts locally sourced cellulosic biomass into premium renewable fuels by integrating Electrolyzer generated Green Hydrogen to reach near-zero life cycle CO2 emissions.


Strategic Focus of Our BETL® Facilities:


Our planned BETL® facilities share common strategic and technological foundations:

  • Core Technology: Each facility will utilize Expander's proprietary BETL® process.

  • Key Components: Incorporating our ETI Tar-Free Gasifiers, PEM Electrolyzers for Hydrogen and Oxygen, advanced Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Synthesis, and Isomerization Units.

  • Sustainable Feedstocks: Designed to process a variety of locally sourced cellulosic biomass, such as landfill redirect wood waste, forestry residues, agricultural residues and sewage sludge.

  • Premium Products: Will produce high-quality Bio-SynDiesel®, Bio-SynJet®, Bio-Naphtha and Bio-wax.

  • Significant Scale: Each new standalone facility is planned to have a substantial annual production capacity, anticipated to be between 500 and 2500 barrels per day (30 to 150 million liters/year), contributing significantly to the renewable fuel supply.

  • Development Status: A number of prospect locations are under development in BC, Ontario and Quebec.


Key Regions Targeted for BETL® Development:


We are progressing project development in key regions known for their abundant biomass resources and availability of renewable or nuclear electricity:


  • British Columbia
