About Arbios Biotech

Arbios Biotech is a joint venture between technology pioneers Licella and integrated forest products company Canfor. Arbios Biotech uses cutting edge technology to convert end-of-life wood and biomass into renewable biofuels and biochemicals. 

Licella is the global leader in the field of Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL). The company has dedicated over a decade to developing its patented Cat-HTR™ ('Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor') platform that produces low-carbon biocrude (a  renewable and sustainable bio oil for the circular economy), from which low-carbon transportation fuels and chemicals can be produced. 

Canfor is one of the world’s largest producers of sustainable lumber, pulp and

paper, and is a North American leader in green energy production.

Together, we are committed to creating a low-carbon circular economy for recovered resources, to enable the production of high-value and sustainable products.
