What We Do

Turning underutilized biomass feedstocks into permanent carbon removal.

NULIFE operates its first commercial hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) facility in Saskatoon, Canada, converting organic by-products into carbon-rich biocrude for permanent geological storage. We focus on clear wastes and residues from existing agricultural and industrial operations—materials that would otherwise be discarded, not crops grown for energy.

Our modular HTL design is built to be deployed at additional sites near major feedstock sources, creating a growing network of facilities that deliver permanent carbon removal close to biomass supply.

For large generators of biomass residuals, this provides a better alternative to landfilling or land application, helping to reduce waste-management costs and preserve landfill capacity.

Our process is designed for real-world industrial conditions handling biomass feedstocks with variable moisture and composition, with rigorous monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV).

Each tonne of CO₂ stored is independently verified by a third party auditor, giving buyers confidence in high-integrity, durable removals backed by transparent data and third-party oversight.

Biocrude with a pathway to low-carbon fuels:

Biocrude with a pathway to low-carbon fuels:

Alongside permanent carbon removal, NULIFE’s HTL process produces biocrude with preliminary carbon intensity of –14g CO₂e/MJ when upgraded to renewable diesel.

NULIFE’s bio-crude is derived from waste and residual biomass, not food crops, eliminating food-versus-fuel concerns.

Upgrading validation is underway, and future projects will explore how these pathways can support low-carbon fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at scale.

What makes our CDR different

Permanent

CO₂ stored securely underground for thousands of years.

Verified

Projects are independently validated, with credits verified by an auditor and issued through the Isometric registry.

Scalable

Modular HTL units that replicate quickly, with low CapEx, across new sites.

Net-Negative

Over 90% net-negative, removing far more CO₂ than it emits.

Affordable

Designed to reach sub-$200/t CDR through modular, repeatable plants.

The Canada Advantage

Why Canada is the right place for engineered CDR:

Clean Electricity

Increasingly low-carbon grid reduces upstream emissions from operations.

Abundant Feedstocks

Reliable access to agricultural, industrial, forestry, and municipal biomass feedstocks.

Geological Storage

Virtually unlimited long-term CO₂ storage potential in favourable geological formations.

Stable Policy Environment

Supportive regulation and public investment in clean technologies and carbon removal.
