Mercurius Biorefining operates within the renewable energy and semiconductor manufacturing space, focusing on converting cellulosic and hemi-cellulosic non-food waste and residues into a range of biomaterials, including drop-in biofuels for aviation and diesel engines. Its process, known as REACH, combines established technologies to yield divergent product streams and by-products such as FDCA, a monomer used in next-generation bioplastics, with feedstocks sourced from municipal waste, forestry, and agriculture. The company has developed pilot-scale operations through its Australian subsidiary, demonstrating continuous production and high conversion yields, and plans to establish a demonstration plant at a Michigan State University facility to scale up and inform design for a pioneer plant, with commissioning targeted for late 2024. Mercurius Biorefining is based in Ferndale, Washington, and was founded in 2009, positioning itself at the intersection of renewable materials production and industrial bio-based fuels. The initiative targets markets that require sustainable aviation and diesel fuel components and aims to provide a flexible platform for processing available waste streams into fuel and chemical products.
