Woody biomass
Proven, Not Promised.
The Integrated Biorefinery Company turns woody biomass into renewable fuels through our single-step conversion process. Renewable diesel is the fuel today. Sustainable aviation fuel is pending ASTM approval. The pathway is designed to be carbon-negative.

What we do
Renewablefuels
Woody biomass is refined into renewable diesel today. Sustainable aviation fuel from the same process is pending ASTM approval.
A first merchant facility is planned in Georgia.

What we do
Oneconversion step
Our single-step conversion process converts woody biomass. No purchased hydrogen is required. The reactor modules are identical and factory-built, and a plant grows by adding modules rather than by enlarging one unit.
The facility can generate its own electricity when needed, for its own use. It is energy self-sufficient and able to supply its own power. On-site electricity is a self-supply capability, not a product for sale.

Alongside the fuel
What theplant produces
- Renewable diesel is the fuel today.
- Sustainable aviation fuel is pending ASTM approval.
- Biochar, pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar), and carbon-removal credits.
- Graphene is in development.
The promise
An integrated biorefinery in which every part of the tree earns: fuel, biochar, carbon-removal credits, pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar), and graphene (in development).
