Aduro Clean Technologies is a developer of patented, water-based Hydrochemolytic technology that chemically transforms low-value waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils into higher-value, sustainable resources and fuels.
Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. is a clean technology company that has developed a proprietary, patented platform known as Hydrochemolytic Technology (HCT). This water-based chemical process is designed to operate at relatively low temperatures and costs to transform low-value feedstocks, such as waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils, into higher-value resources. Unlike conventional methods that may struggle with contaminated or complex waste streams, HCT uses water as a critical agent to break down stubborn molecules. The company focuses on expanding the range of recyclable plastics—specifically polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS)—and upgrading heavy crude oils into more environmentally sustainable, lighter crudes, while also converting renewable oils into functional fuels and chemicals.
This technology addresses critical environmental and economic challenges by offering an alternative to traditional mechanical recycling, incineration, or landfilling, thereby supporting the transition to a circular economy. By providing a scalable approach to value regeneration, Aduro's process enables industries to recover materials that were previously deemed difficult or impossible to process. The company actively engages in pilot plant campaigns and demonstration programs to scale its technology, aiming to provide practical solutions for industry partners and customers seeking to reduce carbon emissions and resource demands. Aduro has demonstrated its operational progress through the successful commissioning and testing of its Next Generation Process (NGP) pilot plant, which has achieved significant liquid hydrocarbon yields.
