licella, a subsidiary of ignite energy resources ltd

For over a decade Licella™ has been pioneering the field of hydrothermal upgrading – now recognised as the best production pathway for advanced biofuels. We have since become recognised as the global leader in the field with our unique and revolutionary Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR™). With over A$75M invested in the development of the Cat-HTR™ platform, it has been extensively tested and conservatively scaled up at our large pilot plant in Somersby on the NSW Central Coast, Australia. The Cat-HTR™ is proven to convert various residues, waste and non-edible biomass, End-of-Life Plastic, used lubrication oil and lignite into the world’s first stable biocrude or synthetic crude oil. Licella’s renewable biopcrude can be refined utilising conventional refinery infrastructure into advanced biofuels and biochemicals. With global joint-ventures in pulp and paper with Canfor Pulp and End-of-Life Plastic with Armstrong Chemicals, Licella’s Cat-HTR platform is now commercial ready and providing a bridge to a lower carbon future.
