Learn more about REFNOVA®
Technology for a low carbon world
Nova Pangaea Technologies (NPT) is a clean technology company headquartered in Teesside and has developed REFNOVA®, a proprietary patented second generation (2G) technology process. REFNOVA® converts woody and non-food derived agricultural residues into high value products 2G ethanol and biochar. The 2G ethanol can be utilised through the alcohol to jet (AtJ) pathway to enable the production of advanced 2G biofuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The biochar, a natural carbon removal product, can deliver an immediate decarbonisation impact through sequestration and enable a potentially negative CO₂ emissions profile. It can also be used for soil improvement and as a filler in cement and asphalt.
Governments, companies and consumers have become increasingly conscious of the impact of climate change. This has resulted in decarbonisation targets being set, including in the transport sector and specifically in the hard to abate aviation sector. Government SAF mandates and airline emission reduction goals need clean technologies such as REFNOVA® to meet this decarbonisation requirement.
REFNOVA® is a unique process displacing fossil-based products and delivers a pathway to net negative fuels. Its co-product, biochar, is similar to a natural charcoal material that naturally sequesters carbon with no need for carbon capture storage infrastructure ensuring significant reductions in carbon intensity.
