Expander Energy is a privately held industrial company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada focused on the production of biofuels from renewable resources.
Expander holds the Canadian license for CHOREN Industries' proprietary gasification technology Carbo-V®—the only commercially successful biomass to hydrocarbon liquids gasification process in the world. Expander will construct a biorefinery near Edmonton, Alberta using biomass (wood waste) to produce a synthetic diesel. This third generation biofuel contains zero aromatics, zero sulphur and has a cetane rating +80.
Expander's synthetic diesel: does not compete with food crops,
is complimentary to the existing transportation fuel infrastructure and current engine technologies, and enables up to 90% reduction in green house gas emissions.
