Bio-Crude Oil

A World First

Licella has produced what is believed to be the world’s first stable Bio-Crude oil – a crude oil that is made from biomass (plant material). Using its proprietary technology, Licella can theoretically convert any biomass into Bio-Crude.

Traditional Bio-Fuels

Traditional bio-fuels are typically low energy density, are not stable, and are difficult to transport and blend.

Licella bio-crude:

  • Energy Density: 34-36 MJ/kg
  • Stable: can be transported
  • Miscible: can be blended
  • Oxygen around 10 wt% or less

Licella's Bio-Crude

Licella’s Bio-Crude oil delivers a high energy density product, which is well-placed to deliver a sustainable refinery feedstock to create fuels for transport industries.

Licella can create fuels that are stable; they are liquid , they are storable, they are transportable, and they are blendable. (Prof. Thomas Maschmeyer, University of Sydney)

Company Information

Licella is an Australian-based company that has developed a unique process to transform renewable woody-waste materials into an array of biofuels.

The Licella process has been running at our pilot plant at Somersby (just north of Sydney), Australia for over 3 years.

Having won an Australian Federal Grant, our 2nd generation Commercialisation Demonstration Plant (CDP), has been opened by the Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson AM MP, on the 14th December 2011.
