How it works

From sweet sorghum to renewable fuels — one integrated platform.

One crop. Multiple products. An integrated value chain.

Five steps, one value chain

  1. 01 Cultivate

    Grow dedicated sweet sorghum on rehabilitated land.

    Crop attributes

    • High biomass yield
    • Non-food crop
    • Rehabilitates degraded land
  2. 02 Extract

    Juice the sorghum to produce intermediate sugar content (ISC) and prepare residual biomass for gasification.

    Outputs

    • Sorghum juice (ISC) for sale
    • Residual biomass (bagasse) to gasifier
  3. 03 Convert

    Gasify biomass into syngas using proven technology.

    Output

    • Syngas (CO + H2)
  4. 04 Produce

    Convert syngas into renewable fuels through Fischer–Tropsch conversion and upgrading.

    Outputs

    • Renewable diesel (FT-Diesel)
    • Bio-naphtha
  5. 05 Sell

    Supply renewable fuel and coproduct markets through commercial offtake arrangements.

One crop. Multiple products. An integrated value chain.

Products

One crop. Multiple products.

Renewable diesel (FT-Diesel)

For marine and road transport.

Bio-naphtha

For petrochemical markets.

Future platform

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)

Enabled through a catalyst switch (at scale).

Alongside the fuels, sorghum juice (ISC) from the extraction step is a coproduct for sale.
