History of Development

Benefuel has exclusive, worldwide rights to refining technology, developed at the world renowned, National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), for the production of biofuels, lubricants and other specialty chemical products. Over the last five years, Benefuel and NCL have worked together to develop this refining platform into the leading choice for next-generation renewable fuel and chemical production.

Benefuel has an established partnership with Sud-Chemie India Ltd. (SCIL), a leading global catalyst manufacturer, for the production of catalyst. SCIL has established production and quality control in place to supply enough catalyst annually to support over one billion gallons per year of biodiesel production.

Since acquiring the license to the technology, Benefuel has successfully built and operated a demonstration-scale version of its technology, proving the scalability and efficiency of its commercially available catalyst across a broad range of low grade, low-cost feedstocks with high free fatty acid. Now working with a number partners world-wide, Benefuel will demonstrate its ENSEL™ on a larger, commercial scale.
