Revolutionizing Refining:
Patented, Modular, Net-Zero Emissions Technology
Welcome to the future of refining. NZET Refineries’ patented, modular technology delivers the next-generation of hydrocarbon processing—high demand products, net-zero emissions, scalable production, and high-yield economics.
At the core of our solution is a closed-loop, Flash-to-Vacuum separation system that efficiently recycles heat across all components, enabling zero toxic emissions and reducing greenhouse gases by over 90% compared to conventional refineries. The only byproduct? A safe, non-toxic baking soda with captured impurities that can be reprocessed for recovery.
Key Advantages
Product Flexibility: Produces high-demand, high-margin outputs like asphalt, diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, SAF, kerosene, propane, and naphtha.
Scalable Design: Built around modular 3,400 BPD reactors, scalable up to 100,000+ BPD.
Feedstock Agility: Handles a wide API range (8–50), operating at 550°F and 900 psi.
Accelerated Deployment: Lower capital costs, faster timelines, and minimal permitting—especially for emissions.
Operational Efficiency: Lower OPEX per barrel than traditional facilities.
With patents securing our proprietary system and a growing portfolio of 10+ projects, we are unmatched in the market—no known competitors offer this blend of environmental performance, modular scalability, and economic return.
Net-Zero Emissions, Limitless Impact
Net- Zero “gallon of gasoline”
As the broader industry advances efforts toward a “net-zero barrel of oil,” we’ve focused our innovation on delivering a "net-zero gallon of gasoline"—a practical and scalable solution for today’s fuel ecosystem.
Our patented technology, which has been in production since 2017, surpasses government emissions regulations by generating net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and net-zero carbon dioxide.
This qualifies our project for federal and state funding, grants and tax credits through the Infrastructure Act, US Department of Energy, Green Road Initiatives, Pace Program, and more.
Products for a Low-Carbon, Resilient World
The world needs more energy, more infrastructure, and more refining capacity—but it must be done with dramatically lower emissions. NZET Refineries are designed to meet this challenge head-on, enabling a new generation of refining that supports both climate goals and economic development.
For example; as global demand for transportation materials and infrastructure investment continues to rise, NZET Refineries provide the critical low-carbon inputs—such as sustainable asphalt—needed to build and maintain roads, highways, and resilient public works. Rather than scaling back, we’re scaling sustainably—delivering the materials the world needs through a refining platform built for a net-zero future.
Our model fills a growing gap in supply while setting a new standard for emissions performance. We see this not just as an opportunity, but a responsibility—to expand refining where it’s needed most, and to do so with climate, resilience, and economics in mind.
Why NZET Refineries?
NZET Refineries

Significantly lower upfront capital expenditures compared to traditional refineries.
Traditional Refineries
Limited capacity to expand into high-margin, low carbon, end products
Challenge to obtain new construction and retrofitting permits
Contribute 5-6% of global industrial greenhouse gas emissions
Stringent environmental regulations
Large footprint, large capex required
5-7 year construction timeline, long payback periods
High operating costs, expensive catalysts
Overall refining capacity decreasing and inventories are tightening
“NZET Refineries represents the paradigm shift the global energy and infrastructure markets have been waiting for—delivering breakthrough performance at the intersection of rising demand and environmental sustainability.
Our proprietary, commercially proven technology transforms hydrocarbons into a flexible array of high-value fuels and asphalt binders, all while eliminating toxic emissions and achieving near-zero greenhouse gas output. NZET enables infrastructure development without compromising climate goals. We are now scaling this solution across the U.S. and globally."
