Our Mission:
To develop and commercialize game-changing, efficient, cost-effective sustainable technologies that create value to our customers, reduce GHG emissions to help combat climate change, and improve the world’s circular economy.
Anellotech raised over US$85 million in cash and in-kind contributions to develop its patented Bio-TCat™ technology, an efficient thermal catalytic process for converting biomass into benzene, toluene and xylene, which are identical to their petroleum-based counterparts. The process has been extensively demonstrated with loblolly pine feedstocks at Anellotech’s TCat-8® demo plant in Silsbee, Texas. Engineering work to design the first commercial plant has been completed by Anellotech and its R&D, engineering and licensing partners IFPEN and Axens. Work to obtain capital funding, partners and an industrial site is underway.
Anellotech’s world-class R&D team has established long-term partnerships with leaders in process development, catalysis, engineering design, and licensing for the Bio-TCat technology includes:
- Johnson Matthey, a global specialty chemicals company which co-developed and provided catalysts for the Bio-TCat development program and can manufacture catalysts for commercial use.
- IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN), the French public research entity, and recognized global expert on fluid bed process research and development has been collaborating with Anellotech on the Bio-TCat process development program.
- Axens, an international provider of licensed advanced technologies, is our partner for commercialization, global licensing, basic engineering design, start-up and technical support for licensees.
- Suntory, one of the world’s leading consumer beverage companies, has partnered with Anellotech to advance the development and commercialization of cost-competitive bio-aromatics, including bio-paraxylene, the key component needed to make a 100 percent bio-based PET beverage bottles.
Anellotech is receiving financial and strategic support for the development of Plas-TCat technology from R Plus Japan Ltd. (“RPJ”), a joint venture company formed in 2020 among 40 cross-industry partners within the Japanese plastics supply chain (and led by Suntory Holdings Ltd., TOYOBO Co. Ltd., and Rengo Co. Ltd) with the goal to have a Plas-TCat commercial unit operating in Japan in 2030.
Anellotech is currently seeking forward looking companies to join them in accelerating the development and the commercial implementation of the Bio-TCat and Plas-TCat technologies. For more information, please contact: information@anellotech.com

A future focus for the Anellotech R&D team is the development of Tex-TCat, an effective fabric recycling technology, enabling conversion of a blends of fabrics (including natural and synthetic fibers) into valuable commodity chemicals (BTX+). Tex-TCatTM can do this profitably, providing a future, viable solution to keeping discarded clothing out of landfills and incinerators.
Anellotech has demonstrated the lab scale conversion of cotton and polyester fabrics into valuable chemicals. Development plans leading to studies to generate data for commercial plant design in our TCat-8 Demo plant are being considered following completion of the Plas-TCat development program.
