About Pelican Carbon

The Opportunity

 

Pelican Carbon is building a new pathway to produce low-carbon fuels and chemicals from abundant biomass waste. Our electrified, microwave-assisted process converts feedstocks like sugarcane bagasse into high-value hydrocarbons compatible with today’s fuel and petrochemical infrastructure.


We are solving a critical gap in the energy transition: scalable, economically viable alternatives to fossil-based inputs.

The Advantage

 

Traditional approaches face limitations in efficiency, catalyst performance, and feedstock flexibility. Pelican Carbon is designed to overcome these constraints - unlocking higher yields, lower emissions, and improved unit economics.


Our process enables the production of drop-in fuels and chemicals without requiring new infrastructure, accelerating adoption across existing industrial systems.

The Path to Scale

 

Starting in the U.S. Gulf Coast - where biomass supply and refining demand are most concentrated - we are advancing from lab validation to pilot-scale deployment alongside strategic partners.


Our model is built for rapid scale through licensing and project development, positioning Pelican Carbon at the intersection of energy, materials, and decarbonization.
