Abundia Global Impact Group has signed a multi-project licensing agreement with energy technology provider Topsoe, a move that will power the upgrading process at the company’s first waste-plastics-to-renewable products recycling facility in Baytown, Texas.
The deal allows Abundia to deploy Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology at the Baytown plant and commits the companies to using the technology across multiple future projects. The agreement forms a central piece of Abundia’s 2026 development plan as the company works toward a final investment decision on its next phase of growth.
Abundia said the partnership strengthens its strategy of combining proven technologies to convert plastic waste and biomass into commercial-grade renewable fuels and chemicals.
“Guided by the technical expertise of our engineering partner Nexus PMG, we are confident in the selection of Topsoe’s proven commercial-scale upgrading process,” said Ed Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Abundia.
“HydroFlex is recognized globally for its industry leading performance, reliability, and ability to produce high quality renewable fuels and chemicals that meet or exceed international specifications. The inclusion of Topsoe’s upgrade solution to our technology stack meaningfully de-risks our development path, reinforces the bankability of our technology configuration, and supports disciplined execution of our 2026 commercialization plan.”
Topsoe executives say the project could play a significant role in expanding renewable fuel production in the United States.
“Topsoe’s technology and solutions are enabling the conversion of liquified plastic waste to fuels. This exciting project will significantly increase the production of Renewable Diesel & SAF in the US,” said Henrik Rasmussen, Managing Director of Topsoe Americas.
“We’re thrilled that Abundia has chosen Topsoe’s HydroFlex technology for this milestone project and we’re excited to see the project become operational.”
The Baytown facility will combine front-end plastic conversion technology from Alterra with Topsoe’s HydroFlex upgrading system. Together, the technologies form the backbone of Abundia’s vertically integrated waste-to-value model designed to produce “drop-in” renewable fuels that meet global regulatory standards.
The agreement also provides Abundia with long-term access to the technology for future projects, strengthens its competitive position through territory exclusivity provisions, and follows technical due diligence conducted by engineering firm Nexus PMG.
