The problem we solve
Plastic waste is filling our oceans and cause serious harm.
Re-using the waste help clean up our future and create something valuable

Let’s end wasteful practices.. ..by re-using valuable resources

Alternative feedstock sources
Currently plastic waste, biomass and non-captured natural gas are unused
resources causing huge environmental and financial problems
Quantafuel’s alternative hydrocarbon feedstock
Time-to-market

Other hydro-carbon
Plastic waste Biomass Natural gas
sources

• Global annual plastic • US with ~100 million Market potential: • Crude oil
production of >300 tonnes of wood waste
• Local diesel prod. • Other oil products
MT
• All forestry with by- from clean gas
• Coal
• Only ~10 % reused products
• Associated gas
• Organic oil
• ~60 % to landfills • Wood waste and (currently flared)
return wood • Food and other
• Stranded gas

What we do
Quantafuel owns and operates small plants converting plastic waste into
environmentally friendly, synthetic diesel sold in the regular diesel market

Capturing local plastic waste …through small plants with …producing high-quality,
as a resource… proven technology… synthetic diesel

Ending wasteful practices and help avoid Produce high-quality fuel with > 66% lower
Unique, patented catalyst technology
plastic ending up in nature greenhouse gas emissions

Highly efficient (~75%) plants give Commoditized end-product


Utilising waste with no alternative usage
low-cost production (USD ~0,2 per litre) (currently priced at USD ~0,5 per litre)

Stimulating local communities by creating Extended market reach through small scale Growing focus and demand of
jobs production plants environmentally friendly diesel

Quantafuel´s Jet biofuel project

Expected Innovation Objectives: The checklist:

 Verify the jet fuel technology in pilot  Location


scale (wood chips)
 Industry partner
 Provide data to widen feedstock
range (forest residues)  Independent environmental foundation

 Proof of concept (Quantafuel´s F-T  Initial funding


design for catalyst and reactor)
 Technology and research partner
 Provide design data for upscaling
? Partner funding
 Reduced GHG emissions in
production of jet fuel

The pilot plant will contribute to…

Sending a clear message that the aviation industry is taking action in the global
goal of reducing CO2-emissions

Following up on the IATA target and contributing to the goal of 1 billion passengers
flying on bio jetfuel-mix by 2025

Show that Norwegian innovation in clean energy as well as forward-thinking


policymakers will close the gap between the forest- and aviation industry, setting the
pace for the next decades of sustainable air transportation

The potential to make global impact which lies in exporting an effective and cost-
competitive technology that can be equally beneficial to implement in India or the
U.S, as in Norway, regardless of feedstock qualities.
