Sustainable fuel
for aviation and shipping.
From the field, not the well.

We convert low-cost agricultural and forestry residues into drop-in biocrude — refined into the same jet, marine, and chemical fuels the world already runs on, without modification to engines or infrastructure.

The opportunity

A market in shortfall. A waste stream of unmatched scale. A technology that fits.

Global sustainable aviation fuel production is around two million tonnes annually — less than 1% of demand. Forecast SAF demand reaches 60+ million tonnes per annum by 2035. Marine fuel decarbonisation adds further pull. The world's airlines and shipping fleets need fuel that is genuinely drop-in, certified, and available at scale.

Agricultural and forestry residues are the largest under-exploited bioenergy resource on Earth, with billions of tonnes generated globally each year. Cat-HTR™ hydrothermal liquefaction converts these residues — at moisture levels and feedstock variability that defeat competing routes — into a stable, fungible biocrude that drops into existing refining infrastructure.

Technology · Cat-HTR™

Hydrothermal liquefaction at commercial scale.

Cat-HTR™ is the result of two decades of development by Licella Holdings. It uses supercritical water as a reactive solvent to convert wet biomass directly into a stable biocrude — without drying, with feedstock flexibility unmatched in the field, refinable in existing infrastructure. ABGL operates Cat-HTR™ in India under licence from Licella.

Deployment strategy

Building plants where the feedstock is most abundant.

ABGL's first generation of plants is being developed in partnership with state governments under established Public-Private Partnership frameworks, drawing on capital grants, tax incentives, and SGST reimbursement.

Phase 01

First-generation deployment

Active project pipeline of $3.12 billion across multiple state-level Public-Private Partnerships, with MoU and PPP agreements in place.

Phase 02

Multi-region expansion

Replicating the deployment model in additional regions where the agricultural waste resource is abundant and policy environments favourable.

Phase 03

Global supply

Export-oriented biocrude and refined product flows into the global SAF and SMF markets — including the EU, US, Japan, and Korea blending mandates.

Leadership
