Clariant Zeolites Partners with Vertimass to Scale-Up Innovative CADO Biofuels Technology
Clariant recently announced a strategic collaboration with Vertimass LLC aiming to accelerate the development and commercialization of advanced zeolite catalysts for the catalytic conversion of biobased alcohols via Vertimass Consolidated Alcohols Deoxygenation and Oligomerization (CADO) process. The envisaged project combines Vertimass’ novel technology with Clariant’s 6 decades of expertise in zeolite catalyst development to advance sustainable processing. Under the collaboration, Clariant intends to provide comprehensive technical support to scale Vertimass’ technology to commercial production. This encompasses zeolite catalyst development expertise, industrial scale-up guidance, catalyst sample provision for development and testing, detailed characterization services to evaluate catalyst properties and performance, and ongoing technical consultation from Clariant’s zeolite experts. Vertimass’ proprietary CADO technology enables the catalytic conversion of sustainable methanol, ethanol, and other alcohols into liquid fuels that are compatible with existing vehicles and aircraft, representing a significant advancement in sustainable chemical processing with environmental benefits. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Irvine, California, Vertimass focuses on developing and licensing breakthrough processes for renewable fuel production. Building on an established relationship, this collaboration aims to optimize catalyst performance while enabling efficient scale-up to commercial production. Clariant brings proven expertise in customizing zeolite platforms and unique capabilities in rapidly scaling the catalyst for Vertimass’ CADO technology to commercial production. The collaboration underscores Clariant’s continued commitment to advancing zeolite catalyst innovation and enabling sustainable chemistry solutions for the global energy transition.
