Vertimass is a U.S.-based renewable fuels and chemicals technology company focused on converting alcohols into drop-in hydrocarbons. The company develops and commercializes the Consolidated Alcohol Deoxygenation and Oligomerization (CADO) process, a single-step catalytic technology that transforms ethanol and other alcohols into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel, gasoline blendstocks, and petrochemical intermediates compatible with existing fuel infrastructure.
Originating from technology licensed from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vertimass targets integration with existing ethanol plants and refineries to enable on-site upgrading of bio-based alcohols. The company works with engineering partners and fuel producers to license and deploy commercial-scale units aimed at decarbonizing transportation and supplying renewable feedstocks to the chemical value chain.
