Aduro Clean Technologies Awards Contract to Ebert HERA B.V. for Regulatory Permitting of First Industrial-Scale Hydrochemolytic™ Facility in Netherlands
Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (ADUR) has engaged Ebert HERA B.V. to manage the regulatory permitting process for its inaugural industrial-scale Hydrochemolytic™ (HCT) facility at the Chemelot Industrial Park in Sittard-Geleen, Netherlands. This "first-of-a-kind" (FOAK) plant is designed to convert end-of-life plastics into circular hydrocarbons, specifically naphtha, compatible with existing petrochemical infrastructure. The contract with Ebert HERA aims to streamline the permitting process, mitigate delays, and provide clarity for the project's development and construction, with the scope designed to accommodate future capacity expansions. This milestone follows Aduro's selection of Chemelot as the site and a preliminary off-take agreement for initial FOAK production, signaling significant progress towards commercial deployment.
