The Catalytic Depolymerization process, which represents a major breakthrough in the quest for renewable energy sources, utilizes proprietary technologies developed in the EU, and improved and refined by our partner EcoKat.

This process is a pressureless, catalytic reaction that can readily convert discarded oil and other marginal organic materials to mineral diesel.

Baetel is currently investigating conversion of the following materials to fuel:

• Short fiber and plastic from paper mills
• Auto shredder residue
• Natural and man-made disaster debris
• Algae

In addition, the technology can be used in the following applications:

• Refinery Residuals - such as tar and paraffin which cannot be used today and the disposal of which harms the environment and is expensive to neutralize
• Used oil from engines, organic refuse; all types of hard to use biomass, including such items as the body plant of the corn left after extracting oil from the seeds, sunflowers and any other crop where significant amounts of biomass remain in the field after harvesting the food parts

The resulting product is a high-quality diesel fuel suitable for use in any of today's engines. It has a cetane number of over 60, as compared to normal diesel (52) and premium diesel (56), giving the engine cleaner and quieter operation.
