OVERVIEW
Ensyn produces biocrude from forest and agricultural residues using its proprietary thermal technology. Ensyn's biocrude has been in commercial production for over 30 years for the generation of food ingredients, natural chemicals and heating fuels. Ensyn is now building out its production capacity for a broader commercialization of heating fuels and for the production of low carbon feedstocks for petroleum refineries in an application known as Refinery Co-processing. Refinery Co-processing involves the use of Ensyn's biocrude as a low carbon feedstock in Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units in existing petroleum refineries for the production of ASTM specification gasoline and diesel. Refinery Co-processing represents a massive-scale opportunity for the deployment of Ensyn's commercially-proven technology. Ensyn has established an impressive array of strategic alliances with industry leaders for the broad commercial deployment of this application. Expansion of biocrude production capacity is underway, led by a 10 million gallons (40 million litres) per year production facility in Port Cartier, Quebec. This plant, developed by Ensyn and its partners, has been completed. Production of RFO heating fuels for export to the US market will ramp upon normalization of the US Federal Renewable Fuel Standard regulatory program. Additional production capacity is under development in Aracruz, Brazil, and in Dooley County, Georgia, US. Each of these two proposed plants would produce 20 million gallons (75 million litres) per year of biocrude. Strategic Relationships Ensyn works closely with industry leaders in each step of the value chain. These include companies related to fiber supply, technology and equipment supply, heating and refinery offtake, project development and finance. Ensyn’s has strategic relationships with Honeywell UOP, Suzano, Chevron Technology Ventures, Roseburg Forest Products, Arbec Forest Products and Kerry Group.
