Join Our Team

Nova Pangaea Technologies (NPT) is led by a successful team that combines extensive technical and global business experience across broad industries including chemicals, manufacturing, oil and gas, mining and operational excellence.

NPT is a cleantech company that has developed a decarbonisation enabling process technology called REFNOVA. REFNOVA converts woody and agricultural biomass into sustainable sugars and biocarbons.

The sugars are fermented to 2G bioethanol and further downstream to SAF. The biocarbons are used as a sequestrate or displace coke within the steel industry to create green steel.

We currently have a pre-commercial plant (TRL 7/8) and scaling out the current plant into commercial production in 2023. This plant (NOVAONE) will be our first commercially producing plant in the UK at a capacity of 20KTPY product output which will deliver 10KTPY biocarbon and 6MLPY 2G ethanol.

We are also currently in the feasibility stage of our partnership with British Airways and LanzaJet (Project Speedbird) to deliver 190MLPY of 2G ethanol in the UK from soft wood residues.
