Aduro Secures Non-Binding Offtake LOI for Hydrochemolytic Oil
Event summary
- Aduro signed a non-binding LOI with an international commodities trading company for Hydrochemolytic™ oil offtake.
- The agreement includes a Pilot-to-FOAK validation program to evaluate product value, specifications, and reproducibility.
- Phase 1 involves sample testing at Aduro’s NGP Pilot Plant, while Phase 2 commits the trading partner to purchase initial FOAK production.
- The LOI is non-exclusive and preserves Aduro’s ability to engage additional offtake partners as production scales.
The big picture
The LOI aligns with broader industry trends toward circular feedstocks, as petrochemical companies seek traceable, certified inputs to meet tightening recycled content targets. The global chemical recycling market is projected to grow at ~9.8% CAGR through 2030, creating a scalable opportunity for Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic technology.
