TAILORING FUEL ENERGY DENSITY

Fuel supply chains are under growing pressure from constraints in supply, transport capacity and geopolitical instability. At the same time, fuel suppliers are expected to deliver higher performance while reducing emissions and improving efficiency.

NANOARC helps fuel suppliers achieve this without increasing fuel volumes.

We engineer waste-derived fuels with higher energy density, enabling more usable energy from the same volume of fuel. This increases delivered energy capacity within existing storage and transport infrastructure, improves operational efficiency and strengthens supply resilience, while reducing fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions.

Rather than viewing waste oil as a feedstock to be processed, we see it as a wealth reserve of molecular building blocks that can be re-engineered to deliver targeted fuel performance.

This is achieved through atomic-scale material design.

WE ENGINEER FUELS AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL

NANOARC redesigns the molecular architecture of waste-derived fuels to achieve defined performance outcomes. Instead of accepting the natural output of upgrading processes, we design fuels with targeted properties including higher energy density, improved efficiency and application-specific performance.

NANOTECHNOLOGY THAT IMPROVES PROCESS EFFICIENCY

Our proprietary nanocatalysts enable precise control over upgrading reactions. Designed with high surface area and atomically engineered active sites, they reduce energy input requirements, improve reaction efficiency and increase selectivity.

This allows fuel suppliers to produce higher-performance fuels more efficiently and with greater control over final fuel properties.

WHAT WE DELIVER

NANOARC works with waste oil upgrading companies and fuel suppliers to design and develop higher energy density fuels for real-world applications.  We design upgrading processes that can be tuned to prioritise specific fuel outputs, including jet fuel range products, diesel fuels and other targeted hydrocarbon fractions. Rather than producing a generic fuel mix, we engineer process conditions and catalyst systems to bias molecular pathways towards the desired product slate, depending on the client’s application requirements. We combine:

• Atomic-scale material design

• Proprietary nanocatalysts

• Process engineering

• Technical consultancy and co-development

Together, this enables clients to move beyond conventional fuel upgrading and into performance-led fuel design.

THE OUTCOME

Our clients use NANOARC to:

• Increase energy delivered per unit of fuel

• Improve supply chain efficiency and storage utilisation

• Reduce dependence on volume-heavy fuel logistics

• Strengthen resilience against supply constraints and geopolitical disruption

• Lower fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions

FUEL DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE, NOT JUST PRODUCTION

Conventional upgrading maximises fuel output. NANOARC engineers fuel performance. We help fuel suppliers turn waste-derived feedstocks into high-energy fuels designed for efficiency, resilience and real-world demand.

NANOARC transforms waste-derived feedstocks into engineered fuel systems through a three-phase process designed to move from feasibility to scale readiness.

TARGETED OUTPUT CAPABILITY

Where required, we can design processes to prioritise specific fuel outputs, including:

• Jet fuel range hydrocarbons

• Diesel range fuels

• Application-specific fuel slates aligned to infrastructure demand

WHAT CLIENTS ACHIEVE

• Increased energy delivered per unit of fuel which enables reduced fuel consumption and associated CO₂ emissions for the same operating range.

• Improved storage and transport efficiency

• Reduced dependence on volume-heavy fuel logistics

• Stronger resilience against supply constraints and geopolitical disruption
