Biomass to Renewable Diesel

At Kara Technologies, we are working on a process to convert organic solid waste into renewable diesel using natural gas. Our goal is to create a fuel that’s not only sustainable but also economically viable. By upgrading biomass waste into fuel, we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer a lower-cost alternative to traditional diesel.

Our Approach

We utilize methane (natural gas) instead of hydrogen in our catalytic upgrading process. This choice reduces the overall cost, operational pressure, and carbon footprint compared to conventional methods.

Our process has demonstrated a 66% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to current commercial processes, with a minimum selling price of $3.5 per gallon—significantly lower than other renewable diesel options.

Net Zero Emissions

Our process leverages biomass waste and methane to achieve a lower carbon footprint, reducing emissions by 66% compared to conventional methods.

Economically Competitive

At $3.5 per gallon, our renewable diesel is more affordable than many existing alternatives.

Sustainable Production

Using methane rather than hydrogen minimizes costs and environmental impacts, making renewable diesel production more feasible on a large scale.
