Mercurius Biorefining is developing and scaling up technology to produce carbon negative drop in fuels and chemicals using its patented REACH™ process. REACH™ uses a liquid phase catalytic approach to produce fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic feedstocks such as agricultural and forestry residuals (stover, bagasse, rice or wheat straw, wood chips or sawdust) or MSW.

OUR PROJECTS

Mercurius Pilot Project

Mercurius Biorefining has successfully designed, installed, commissioned, and operated a Pilot Plant in Australia through its wholly owned subsidiary Mercurius Australia. The Mercurius Rising Pilot project in Queensland, Australia has showcased the versatility and efficacy of REACH™ technology. Specific milestones included continuous operations producing high conversion yields of CMF, chemical recovery/reconcentration and hydrotreated fuel products.
