Technology

Proven at industrial scale. Zero technology risk.

Axiom does not invent technology — we deploy the world's most proven biocrude-to-fuel pathway at commercial scale in India's most abundant biomass markets.

The Process

From waste to specification fuel — four steps.

The core challenge in biocrude is upgrading: removing oxygen, reducing acidity and hitting the tight specification windows required for marine and aviation fuels. This is where Axiom operates.

01

Feedstock Intake

Agricultural residues, forestry waste and compatible organic streams are received, sorted and pre-treated to ensure consistent biocrude quality.

02

Biocrude Conversion

Hydrothermal liquefaction (Licella Cat-HTR™) converts wet biomass into raw biocrude oil — a dense, energy-rich liquid requiring further upgrading.

03

Axiom Upgrading

Advanced catalytic hydroprocessing removes oxygen, reduces acidity and adjusts the hydrocarbon profile to match fuel specifications for each output stream.

04

Fractionation & Blending

Output is separated into marine bunker, biodiesel and SAF streams, each meeting the relevant ISO, ASTM and IATA quality standards.

Biocrude Supply

Licella / Arbios
Cat-HTR™

Proprietary hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL). World's largest HTL plant now operating at Arbios Chuntoh Ghuna, Prince George BC, Canada. Wet biomass in → biocrude out. Proven at commercial scale.

✓ Reference plant operating at 35,000 t/yr
Upgrading Technology

Advanced Catalytic Hydroprocessing

The most commercially proven biocrude upgrading pathway available. Hydrodeoxygenation and hydrocracking transform raw biocrude into specification SAF, light naphtha and marine diesel. Licensing engagement with established technology licensors underway.
