The Technology

Transforming everyday waste into valuable fuel to power the world.

Cielo’s Thermal Catalytic Depolymerization (“TCD”) process can transform most household and industrial waste into valuable fuel, eliminating it and its associated greenhouse gases from landfill.

Cielo’s technology has received patents in both Canada and the US. Our process generates no harmful emissions or GHGs, leads to reduced emissions from landfills and lowers reliance on imported biofuels. Cielo anticipates that its Aldersyde Research and Development (R&D) Facility will generate valuable intellectual property associated with the conversion of waste-to-fuel that can be licensed to third party fuel producers and waste generators looking to green their operations.

Step 1

Through a low temperature and pressure process, feedstocks combine with a proprietary catalyst and carrier fluid.

Step 2

Feedstock is then processed into a liquid, before being heated in a reactor until liquified.

Step 3

Distillate then gets heated to temperatures that produce diesel, kerosene and naphtha.

Step 4

Resultant products are high-quality fuels including lower carbon diesel and aviation/marine fuel.

60-lph

Currently designing a 60-lph complete process system that will form the heart of Cielo’s Aldersyde Research and Development (R&D) Facility.

Aldersyde Research & Development (R&D) Facility

Cielo is in the design stages of a Research and Development (R&D) Facility. This will feature a scaled-down version (60-litres per hour or “lph”) of a complete process system intended to mimic a full-scale, state-of-the-art facility which we anticipate will be the basis for the design of future, full-scale commercial facilities. Photo is an image of Cielo’s existing and historical testing apparatus which is now in our testing facility. Images of the 60-lph Aldersyde R&D Facility coming soon.
