A highly flexible, self-sufficient, continuous catalytic thermo-chemical process invented by Gas Technology Institute and jointly developed with support from USDOE and CRI to which CRI have acquired exclusive license rights.
Uses catalysts, hydrogen and heat in proven refinery hardware to cost effectively1 convert forestry, agricultural and sorted municipal wastes into low-carbon fungible hydrocarbon transportation fuels gasoline, jet and diesel which fully meet relevant ASTM specifications together with char, fertilizer, water and CO2. 11.50-3.50 USD/gallon FPMC; 160-400MM Capex 500 tonne/d standalone - 2000 tonne/d integrated; No RINs, no credits included

• Over 6000 hours of IH2 pilot plant operation on various softwood and hardwood feedstocks,
as well as corn stover and sugarcane bagasse
• Long-term tests validated catalyst life, provided process economic model inputs, and
produced liquid product for fuel certification tests
