Shell Catalyst and Arbios Biotech establish a biorefinery alliance

China Petrochemical News Network reported on May 6, according to hydrocarbon processing news, Shell Catalyst Technology (SC&T) and Arbios Biotechnology (a joint venture of Licella and Canfor) formed a new global alliance aimed at leveraging SC&T’s continuously upgraded technology Ability, pursuit of low-carbon intensity, bio-refinery centered on circular economy.

The purpose of Arbios Biotechnology was to commercialize Licella’s Cat-HTR™ platform, a world-leading hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology for various forms of wood and post-consumer biomass around the world, especially It is in North America, South America and Europe.

The alliance between Arbios Biotechnology and SC&T expects that Shell’s upgrades will work in conjunction with commercial Cat-HTR® plants, which are located near aggregated sources of post-consumer biomass feedstock.

Catherine Murray, Vice President of New Business Development of Shell Catalyst Technologies, said: "We are very pleased to cooperate with Arbios Biotechnology on this exciting project because they want to develop a low-carbon circular economy.

Dunn Roberts, Chairman of Arbios Biotechnology, said: "Shell Catalyst Technologies will play a key role in helping Arbios Biotechnology realize its low-carbon regional circular economy vision, bringing end-to-end biotechnology to many regions that currently do not have this option.

Shell Catalysts & Technologies form alliance with Arbios Biotech to promote circular economy

Shell Catalysts & Technologies ("SC&T") and Arbios Biotech, a joint venture between Licella and Canfor, have formed a new global alliance aimed at utilizing SC&T's upgrading technology capability in the pursuit of a low-carbon intensity, circular-economy focused biorefinery.

Arbios Biotech was formed to commercialise Licella's Cat-HTR? platform, a globally leading hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology, for various forms of wood and post-consumer biomass around the world, particularly in North America, South America and Europe.

This alliance between Arbios Biotech and SC&T anticipates that Shell upgrader units will work in concert with commercial Cat-HTR? plants, strategically located near aggregated post-consumer biomass feedstock sources.

“We are very pleased to be working with Arbios Biotech on this exciting initiative as they look to develop a low-carbon circular economy,” said Kathren Murray, VP New business Development with Shell Catalyst & Technologies.

"Shell Catalysts & Technologies will play a critical role in helping Arbios Biotech realize its vision of a low-carbon regional circular economy, bringing an end-to-end biorefinery solution in many jurisdictions where no such options exist today, while also supporting efforts to deliver attractive economic returns and desired sustainability outcomes," said Don Roberts, Chairman of Arbios Biotech.
