Biocaldol Ltd. specialises in developing turnkey solutions designed to transform the agro-industry.

These solutions comprise proprietary, environmentally-friendly micro-organisms, custom-made process design and engineering for the production of second-generation biofuels, animal feed and other biomass-derived products.

Biotechnology Conversion Technology Ltd (BCTL), a research and development arm of  Biocaldol, was founded in 2003 to focus on the development of a thermophilic (high temperature) bioethanol (ethyl alcohol) production process. Its internationally patented and ground-breaking fermentation technology for producing bioethanol from plant waste and residues overcomes barriers related to the acceptance and commercial production of bioethanol.

The Biocaldol’s technology is based on proprietary microorganisms and is designed to convert the world’s vast and largely under-utilised lignocellulosic biomass resources into renewable motor vehicle biofuel (bioethanol) and other high value industrial chemicals.

Short-term, the business is expected to demonstrate cost benefits of at least 50% over current ethanol processes and deliver further cost savings for ethanol producers through the modular and standardised designs.

The current focus of Biocaldol business is system integration. Using its innovative technology, processes and micro-organisms, Biocaldol can maximise customers’ ethanol production output.

Biocaldol works closely with customers and agro-industrial partners to retrofit conventional ethanol plants, develop process components and engineering expertise and marketing access within the potential market sectors. Through this unique technological approach the high cost of capital associated with conventional processes is avoided.

Our Mission

To become a market leader in the bioethanol process and technology system integration by working closely with customers and agro-industrial partners thereby retrofitting conventional ethanol plants and developing process components.
