HBx: The world’s best route to decarbonising long-distance transportation

A disruptive biofuel...but without the disruption

Decarbonising industries locked into fossil fuels is an enormous challenge. Across aviation, shipping and trucking, assets spend 20-30 years in operation and move for up to 90% of their lives.

This makes it hard to retrofit and adapt to new fuel systems.

At HutanBio, we are committed to solving this problem by developing a low carbon, scalable ‘drop in’ replacement for diesel and feedstock for aviation fuels.

1 tonne of HBx produced, helps to remove nearly 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

BIOFUEL SOLUTIONS FOR

HEAVY LAND TRANSPORT

5.4 Bn barrels of oil used each year to cover 100,000 miles. Our direct drop-in fuel replacement will decarbonise heavy land transport that can not be electrified.

LONG-HAUL AVIATION

Providing a feedstock to support an industry that uses 1.4 Bn barrels of oil a year and flies for 5000 hours each year, over long distances.
.

CARGO SHIPPING

Supporting an industry that moves critical supplies around the world, that is at sea for 330 days a year, and uses 1.9 Bn barrels of oil per year.

Our Future

We believe that HBx is much bigger than just a replacement fuel. It has the potential to fuel a better future.

A future we want to be part of.

A transformative approach to long-distance transportation whilst bringing climate equity to those that need it the most.

DROP IN

A biofuel that requires no tank or engine modification and can be stored, pumped, and burnt in exactly the same way as diesel.

SCALABLE

Using automation and modular architecture, farms can be developed and expanded as required, improving green job opportunities.

LOW CARBON

By feeding off sunlight and carbon dioxide, HBx algae has the potential to draw down and capture more carbon dioxide than it emits.

Reduce your carbon emissions now

Grown on barren, desert land in enclosed bioreactors, HBx does not drive disruption. Our process will utilise unproductive land thus protecting equatorial rainforests and peatland which in turn protects biodiversity and existing crop land.

Advanced Biology and Engineering Excellence

We supply the technology, equipment, and design services to allow landowners to build oil farms. Bringing green fuel jobs to areas of the world where agriculture is poor.

Modular architecture will enable scalable deployments that are driven by market demands.

From every square kilometer farmed, we aim to produce 11,000 barrels of light oil and capture 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

‘We believe Micro Biodiversity holds the answers to solve the climate challenges. We are doing replicating what Mother Nature has done for 2Bn years’

One in a Trillion Discovery

Where others have tried and failed to use microalgae, our approach has leveraged the massive evolutionary diversity of marine microalgae.

A bioprospecting program that screened over 1 trillion samples from the world’s oceans, selecting for productivity, growth, and lipid production.

During that process, we rejected all of the species that other companies had based their businesses on.

Our patented algae, HBx, is a genus new to science, that is the result of a 120-person year research program.
