OUR SYNFUELS

Expander Energy is committed to delivering high-performance, low life cycle carbon intensity fuels for the most demanding applications. Leveraging our patented Canadian technology that transforms non-food biomass into exceptionally clean synthesis gas (syngas), we then utilize the proven Fischer-Tropsch process to create our two signature products: Bio-SynDiesel® for ground and marine transport, and Bio-SynJet® for the aviation sector. Both fuels offer a direct path to significantly reducing emissions and advancing sustainability in critical industries.

Bio-SynDiesel®
Ground & Marine Transport

Expander's Bio-SynDiesel® is an advanced renewable diesel, internationally recognized as Synthetic Paraffinic Diesel (SPD). Produced from sustainable, non-food biomass (like forestry/farm residues and construction debris) via our ETI Tar-Free Gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, it's an ultra-pure, high-performance fuel engineered for today's diesel engines.​

Key Environmental Benefits of Bio-SynDiesel®:

 

  • Ultra-Low to Net-Negative Carbon: Achieves exceptionally low lifecycle carbon (from renewable biomass), with a clear path to net-zero or negative emissions via Carbon Capture (CCS).

  • Drastically Cleaner Air: Zero sulphur, low aromatics/particulates; significantly cuts SOx, soot, & other pollutants in critical areas. Reduces direct tailpipe COâ‚‚.

  • Biodegradable: Safer for the environment in case of spills.

​​​

Other Benefits & Characteristics of Bio-SynDiesel®:

 

Seamless Adoption & Compliance:​

​

  • "Drop-In" Ready: Direct diesel replacement; no engine/infrastructure changes needed (use pure or blended) for immediate, cost-effective use.

  • Meets Global Standards: Complies with ASTM D975 & supports key regulations (BC LCFS, CARB, Euro 5/6).

​

Superior Performance & Efficiency:​

​

  • Optimized Engine Health & Power: Very high cetane (75) for better performance, fuel economy, & engine life; boosts blended diesel.

  • Efficient Energy Use & All-Weather Reliability: Higher mass-based energy often means less fuel for equal power; performs in extreme cold without gelling.

  • Exceptional Stability: Resists degradation for long shelf life & consistent quality.

Bio-SynJet®
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for Greener Skies

Expander's Bio-SynJet® is a premium Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), classified as a Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (FT-SPK). It is produced from diverse, sustainable non-food biomass (such as forestry/agricultural residues and construction debris) using our advanced ETI Tar-Free Gasification process to create ultra-clean syngas, which is then converted into jet fuel via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

Key Environmental Benefits of Bio-SynJet®:

 

  • Ultra-Low to Net-Negative Carbon SAF: From renewable biomass, dramatically cuts aviation's lifecycle carbon. Path to net-zero/negative SAF via Carbon Capture (CCS) supports key climate targets.​​

  • Cleaner Burning, Better Air Quality: Exceptional purity (zero sulphur, low aromatics) significantly cuts particulate & non-CO2 emissions around airports/flight paths.

  • Environmentally Conscious: Biodegradable, a safer alternative to conventional jet fuel.

Other Benefits & Characteristics of Bio-SynDiesel®:

 

Seamless Integration & Global Aviation Standards:​

​

  • "Drop-In" Ready for Today's Aircraft: Fully compatible with existing jet engines and airport fueling infrastructure, Bio-SynJet® can be blended (typically up to 50%) with conventional Jet A/A1 fuel without requiring aircraft or system modifications.

  • Meets Rigorous International Specifications: Designed to meet or exceed global aviation fuel standards, such as ASTM D7566 Annex A1 for FT-SPK, ensuring safety, quality, and global interoperability.​

 

Reliable Performance for Demanding Aviation Operations:​

​

  • High-Quality, Consistent Fuel: Our advanced process ensures a highly pure and stable fuel, essential for the demanding performance and stringent safety requirements of the aviation industry.

  • Supports Industry Sustainability Goals: Provides a vital, scalable solution for airlines and the broader aviation sector to achieve ambitious targets for reducing their carbon footprint and operating more sustainably,​​​​
