NASDAQ · ADUR · Investment Dossier

A new chemistry for the hydrocarbon economy.

Aduro Clean Technologies uses an aqueous platform — water as the reaction medium, a renewable hydrogen-donor, and a simple metal catalyst — to selectively cut hydrocarbon chains at moderate temperature. No external H₂ gas. No brute-force thermal cracking. One platform, thirteen market verticals, no direct competitor. This hub is the full investment case: the science, the moat, the markets, a live scenario model, and the milestones between here and commercialization.

§ Milestones
Ten catalysts, six complete
Each milestone removes a specific risk. Price impact estimates are the incremental repricing expected upon that risk being removed — not cumulative targets.

Ten tracked milestones between pilot and first licensed plant. Six achieved. One imminent. Price impact ranges represent incremental expected repricing from removal of specific risk factors, not cumulative targets.

2026 Q1
✓ CompletedPrice impact: +$18–$22
NGP Pilot Commissioned
Proves HCT works in continuous flow at pre-commercial scale. Transitions from R&D to technology demonstration. Enables third-party testing.
2026 Q1
✓ Completed
Chemelot FOAK Site + EPC MOU + Offtake LOI
Three milestones proving commercialization readiness: Europe's premier chemical park, a global EPC engineering firm committed to build plants, and a buyer committed to purchase output before construction.
2026 Q1
✓ Completed
WTR Coverage + CRE Membership
Water Tower Research bridges the institutional visibility gap at 1.6% institutional ownership. CRE membership positions FOAK output for ISCC+ certification.
2026 Q2
✓ Completed
Paraffinic Crude Extension + CIP Patent
Proves HCT works on a fourth feedstock category (waxy crude), expanding TAM by 7.9B bbl/yr. CIP patent filing shows strong enough results for IP protection.
2026 Q2
◐ ImminentPrice impact: +$25–$32
Third-Party Yield Validation
Independent confirmation that HCT achieves 90%+ yield. Removes the 'company says it works' objection. Critical for institutional investors.
2026 Q3
FuturePrice impact: +$32–$38
LCA Results + TotalEnergies Outcome
Life Cycle Assessment by Delphi proves the environmental case. TotalEnergies converting from R&D to commercial engagement would be the strongest validation signal possible.
2026 Q4
FuturePrice impact: +$40–$45
FOAK Construction Commences
Physical construction is the point of no return. Engineering, permitting, financing, partner commitments all locked.
2027 H1
FuturePrice impact: +$70–$100
First Commercial License Signed
The single most important milestone. An industrial operator commits real capital based on demonstrated performance. Creates a reference customer for every subsequent deal.
2027 H2
Future
FOAK Plant Completed
Operating FOAK at Chemelot produces actual Circular Naphtha in commercial quantities. Real revenue begins.
2028
FuturePrice impact: +$80–$150
First Licensed Plant Operating
A third-party operator running an HCT plant on their own feedstock, generating royalties. Proves technology transfers successfully.
