A cost-competitive solution for industry.
Renewal fuel gas (RFG) from biomass is an important component of today’s global initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Highbury Energy’s conversion solutions can help transition companies and society in general to this rich, carbon-neutral fuel source – whether as RFG or upgraded to low-carbon-intensity renewable transportation fuels.

Through our strategic industrial alliances, Highbury-produced RFG can be converted to liquid biofuels using the Fischer-Tropsch conversion process for manufacturing, airlines, agriculture, shipping and many other industries that are under pressure to dramatically lower their carbon footprints.
Unlike geography-dependent solar, wind, tidal or geothermal power, the Highbury process works wherever there’s a ready source of waste biomass – pulp mills, sawmills, agribusiness, food processing, etc.
A scalable, profitable way to shrink a carbon footprint.
Unlike biofuel processes needing 300,000 tonnes or more of biomass feedstock a year, the Highbury process works very efficiently with as little as 65,000 tonnes input – making it ideal for smaller industries like agribusiness and forestry.
Refineries
With a Validated Carbon Index of 7.8, Highbury’s fully fungible, refinery-ready Fischer-Tropsch liquids can be an important way for refineries to lower the Carbon Index (CI) of their transportation fuels.
Forestry
By replacing natural gas in lime kilns, Highbury RFG can help pulp and paper mills get closer to carbon neutrality while adding value to their biomass feedstocks.
Airlines, Road and Marine Transportation
Turning RFG Into transportation fuels, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel and naphtha, is of enormous interest and value to the core transportation industries. Thanks to our integrated business model and strategic partnerships, Highbury can offer the means to convert its RFG into high-value liquids via the Fischer-Tropsch process. SAF refined entirely from organic waste can help airlines meet rising carbon reduction mandates without incurring unrealistic costs.
Hydrogen and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
Along with being used as an industrial fuel gas or converted to liquid transportation fuels, Highbury’s high-grade RFG can be converted into hydrogen or pipeline-ready, highly valued renewable natural gas (RNG) by means of an existing and commercially available catalytic process.
