Defense, aviation, and industrial sectors face foreign supply chains, volatile pricing, and regulatory risk. Most alternatives require heavy infrastructure and years to deploy.
Municipalities pay to haul away sludge that carries untapped energy value. Every city generates it continuously — at no additional cost.
Current alt-fuel solutions demand new construction, combustion-heavy processes, or agricultural inputs — all high cost and slow to scale.
A modular enzymatic system that attaches to existing wastewater infrastructure. No new construction. No combustion. No agricultural inputs. Specification-compliant fuel output from day one.

Municipal and industrial facilities generate sludge continuously. Already collected, already on-site. No feedstock logistics. No procurement costs. The input is the liability cities already pay to remove.
Corazyme™ uses a proprietary enzyme system to convert biogenic carbon at ambient temperature and pressure. No gasification, no combustion. The modular unit retrofits directly to existing infrastructure.
Specification-compliant renewable diesel, SAF, and gasoline. Drop-in compatible with existing pipelines, refineries, and engines. No modifications required anywhere downstream.
Platform validated. IP secured. Yield and cost profile confirmed.

Majors targeting technologies that solve feedstock, CI, and scalability constraints.
✓ Secure, low-cost, high-volume feedstock
✓ Drop-in molecules for existing infrastructure
✓ Low CI pathways aligned with mandates
✓ Modular, multi-site deployment capability
Corazyme™ aligns directly with acquisition theses of global energy buyers.
✓ Municipal sludge: stable, low-cost feedstock
✓ Modular units replicate nationally and globally
✓ Fossil-identical fuels meet all downstream specs
✓ CI profile meets 45Z threshold
45Z requires <50 kg CO₂e per mmBTU. Corazyme™ meets threshold.
✓ Credit applies to each gallon produced
✓ Drives materially higher per-module EBITDA
✓ Strengthens strategic buyer economics
✓ Increases exit valuation basis
Funds site integration, enzyme optimization, and regulatory steps required for full fuel qualification.
