Commercial and industrial-scale positioning

Cost profile

Cost competitive energy performance

Across the GRC88™ product family, the commercial objective is to deliver energy performance that is cost competitive, and in many applications cost advantageous, relative to petroleum hydrocarbons and other fossil counterparts, while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents.

Energy value

High energy density pathways

GRC88™ products are being developed to match or exceed the practical energy density benchmarks required for direct industrial substitution, blending, and large-scale fuel use cases, using highly sustainable feedstocks and patented processing technology.

Commercial structure

Economics without subsidy dependence

The commercial positioning of GRC88™ emphasizes competitive delivered economics based on process efficiency and product performance rather than reliance on government or third-party subsidy support.

Industrial scale

Designed for millions-of-tons deployment

Enabled by novel patented production and processing technology, GRC88™ products are intended for industrial-scale production and delivery, including deployment pathways measured in millions of tons per year.

GRC88™ liquid and solid green solutions

Fuel product

GRC88™ Renewable Diesel

Renewable diesel solutions derived from cellulosic biomass through patented and proprietary processing pathways, engineered to deliver high energy performance while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents.

Fuel product

GRC88™ Marine Fuels

Liquid marine fuel solutions for large-scale marine applications, including evaluation for use in low-speed two-cycle main propulsion systems, formulated for strong energy performance while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents, subject to technical and regulatory requirements.

Fuel and process output

GRC88™ Bio-Oils

Bio-oil product streams intended for energy, industrial, or upgrading pathways, offering robust energy value while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents, with specifications and availability supplied upon request.

Carbon product

GRC88™ Biochar

Solid carbon product intended for sequestration, carbon-management, and related decarbonization pathways, including potential integration with direct air capture and other carbon-removal systems, while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents.

Solid fuel product

GRC88™ Biocoal

Densified solid green fuel engineered as a high-energy alternative to fossil coal for industrial heat, power, and process applications where substitution or blending is desired, while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents.

Metallurgical product

GRC88™ Biocoke

Biocoke produced through a patented densification and carbonization process that converts woody biomass into a dense, custom-shaped, high fixed-carbon, low-ash green alternative to fossil metallurgical coke, while remaining free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents.

  • Intended for substitution or blending with fossil coke in blast furnace and steelmaking applications
  • Designed for high fixed carbon, improved reactivity, and strong mechanical compressive strength
  • Suitable for evaluation in pig iron smelting and electric arc furnace green steel pathways
Carbon solutions

GRC88™ Carbon Sequestration Solutions

Integrated carbon management offerings combining biomass conversion, biochar, and related carbon pathways for emissions reduction, sequestration, and project development, based on highly sustainable biomass feedstocks and products free of sulfur, heavy metals, and toxic constituents.

  • Solutions may include biochar, biocarbon, and related carbon-removal approaches
  • Lifecycle and performance characteristics depend on feedstock, process, and deployment pathway
  • Project-specific commercial terms are available upon inquiry
