Third-Party Validation of Aduro Clean Technologies:
Aduro Clean Technologies has received third-party validation for its Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) from industry experts:
Independent Expert Review: Dr. Paul Charpentier, an expert in chemistry and alternative energy applications, conducted an independent evaluation of Aduro's HCT applied to bitumen. He confirmed that "Aduro was able to demonstrate upgrading of Bitumen on a flow-through reactor in a controlled laboratory environment and therefore meet the objectives of the First Milestone."

“After reviewing the Aduro technology and interviewing its experts over the past 12 months, we feel the HCT-based solution provides certain benefits compared to alternatives. Therefore, we are very excited about the possibility for advancing this important technology to a commercial scale and establishing it as a valuable solution to the waste plastic problem,” says Eric Appelman, Director of Business Development at the Brightlands Chemelot Campus for Industrial Upscaling.
“Aduro HCT is a valuable addition to the innovative technologies that are being scaled up at Brightlands as part of the Chemelot Circular Hub. It offers benefits due to the low temperature process, high yield, lack of aromatics formation, and ability to use inexpensive feedstocks and catalysts,” adds Lucie Wenmakers, Business Development Manager at Brightlands.

After positive preliminary technical evaluations by TotalEnergies, we are now entering a research and development (R&D) collaboration phase. This phase will focus on a more diverse range of waste plastic materials, particularly those with higher concentrations of polyolefins, polyurethane, metals, and other challenging contaminants. The project aims to establish process parameters to manage these variable and hard-to-recycle feedstocks, optimize the process design and operating conditions, and lay the groundwork for a commercial process. Aduro’s innovation is centered on deconstructing these materials into high-value feedstocks suitable for the chemical industry.
TotalEnergies will provide both financial and in-kind support, including access to technical resources. This collaboration aims to generate valuable data that will accelerate Aduro’s technology development and scale-up and facilitate the potential integration of Hydrochemolytic™ technology into refining and petrochemical platforms.

Aduro is excited by the positive results that led to the project expansion but also by the potential to increase its broad understanding of diverse real-life waste feedstock. The additional testing will include a more diverse range of waste plastic materials, specifically targeting those with higher concentrations of PET, polyurethane, metals, and other challenging contaminants. This development indicates the participant's interest in assessing the broader capabilities of Aduro’s technology. The expanded scope will provide important data that will support the Company’s development and scale-up program as well as increase the respective project funding committed for Phase 1 testing by 450%.

Since commencing the commissioning of its Continuous Flow Plastic Reactor in 2023, Aduro has conducted over 240 test runs on a variety of feedstock compositions, with the longest test stretching to 36 hours. The unit was committed to run experiments both for our Customer Engagement Program (CEP) and to achieve research goals, working with a broad variety of feedstocks and advancing the design of the Next Generation Process. Aduro considers its CEP approach crucial to assuring maximum alignment with market needs and changes therein, and to connect to specialised competences and expertise, and as such the CEP has significantly contributed to the advancement and refinement of Aduro’s Next Generation Process.
The following sample results and key summary observations relate to test runs of waste polypropylene using the Continuous Flow Plastic Reactor unit:
Less than 5% of input ends up as non-recyclable material (carbon and fuel gas)
Up to 95% of the carbon in polyolefin feedstock is converted into potential hydrocarbon feedstock for the production of new plastics and/or other chemicals.
All feedstock is highly saturated, avoiding the need for costly post-hydrogenation.
