Alder’s integrated pilot surpassed 1,000 hours of continuous operation, producing on-spec biocrude and validating the design for commercial scale-up
Produced from abundant domestic biomass, our advanced biocrude oil expands feedstock supply while avoiding costly new refinery infrastructure
Growing demand for advanced fuels and carbon products is outpacing domestic supply.
Supply constraints, higher costs, and stalled projects.
Meet current & future biocrude oil supply needs. No billion-dollar refinery conversion
Use abundant, domestic biomass
Utilize wood residues and energy crops that are readily available
Cost leader that can scale
High efficiency and low cost of production outperform alternative technologies
Minimal refinery investment
Leverage existing equipment to expand production & realize economies of scale
We work with industry, government, and academics to accelerate our technology commercialization
Building momentum with technology validation, strategic partnerships, and new projects
Alder has been selected for the Shell GameChanger Accelerator, powered by the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). This collaboration brings together Shell’s refining expertise and NLR’s research capabilities to independently validate Alder Renewable Crude, advance integration with existing petroleum refineries, and accelerate commercialization of lower-carbon transportation fuels from biomass residues.
Alder, BASF, National Laboratory of the Rockies, and North Atlantic Refining co-authored a new Hydrocarbon Processing article on coprocessing Alder Renewable Crude in fluid catalytic crackers. The work highlights a practical pathway to produce renewable fuels by integrating ARC into existing refinery FCC units, with improved handling, storage stability, and strong product yields.
Alder SAF100 demonstrated a 100% biogenic jet-fuel blend using hydrotreated Alder Renewable Crude (ARC) as the majority component with a smaller share of HEFA-SAF. Testing showed favorable energy density and low-temperature properties, highlighting the potential for ARC-derived hydrocarbons to support next-generation SAF production.
