Green molecules for the sectors that are hardest to decarbonise.

Aviation, shipping, and industrial chemistry cannot run on electrons alone — they need molecules. XEMX converts India's biomass into sustainable aviation fuel pathways, furfural, green methanol, and other renewable chemical precursors.

The Molecule Economy Is Going Green

The hardest-to-abate sectors are now under binding decarbonisation mandates. India has announced indicative SAF blending targets of 1% by 2027 and 2% by 2028 for international flights, while the IMO has set the global shipping industry on course for net-zero around 2050 — driving an order book of methanol-capable vessels and unprecedented demand for green methanol.

India holds a structural advantage: pentosan-rich residues like bagasse and corncob for furfural, abundant biomass for gasification-based methanol and alcohol-to-jet pathways, and the engineering talent to build it all at competitive cost. XEMX develops these molecule platforms on top of our existing feedstock networks and project-execution capability.

Molecule platforms under development — SAF pathways, furfural, and green methanol

Three Platforms, One Feedstock Engine

Each platform builds on the residue aggregation networks and conversion infrastructure we already operate — the same biomass engine, routed to its highest-exergy product.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Biomass- and alcohol-derived jet fuel pathways — including alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) and bio-oil upgrading — producing drop-in SAF compatible with existing aircraft and CORSIA-eligible for airlines.

Furfural & Derivatives

Extracted from pentosan-rich bagasse and corncob, furfural is a foundational bio-based platform chemical — feeding furfuryl alcohol, foundry resins, green solvents, and specialty chemistry.

Bagasse · Corncob · Furfuryl Alcohol

Green Methanol

Produced from biomass-derived syngas, green methanol is the front-runner fuel for net-zero shipping and a versatile building block for olefins, formaldehyde, and e-fuel blending.

SAF — Decarbonising Aviation

Aviation has no electric alternative at scale. SAF is the industry's primary decarbonisation lever, and India's blending mandates plus CORSIA compliance create a durable, policy-backed demand curve.

  • Alcohol-to-jet pathways leveraging India's ethanol ecosystem and our biomass networks
  • Pyrolysis bio-oil upgrading as a synergistic route alongside our biochar platform
  • Drop-in fuel — fully compatible with existing aircraft and airport infrastructure
  • Offtake structuring with airlines and fuel majors under CORSIA and national mandates

Furfural — India's Native Platform Chemical

Furfural can only be made from biomass — there is no petrochemical route. With some of the world's largest bagasse and corncob streams, India can become a global furfural supplier, and XEMX's sugar-belt feedstock relationships put us at the front of that opportunity.

  • Co-located extraction at sugar mills — bagasse in, furfural and fuel-grade residue out
  • Downstream integration into furfuryl alcohol for foundry resins and bio-based polymers
  • Green solvent derivatives (MeTHF, furfuryl esters) replacing petroleum solvents
  • Spent biomass recycled as boiler fuel or pyrolysis feedstock — zero residue

Green Methanol — Fuelling Net-Zero Shipping

The world's largest shipping lines have committed to methanol-capable fleets, but green methanol supply remains the bottleneck. Biomass gasification in India offers one of the lowest-cost production routes globally.

  • Biomass gasification to syngas, synthesised into certified green methanol
  • Bunkering-grade supply for methanol dual-fuel vessels calling at Indian ports
  • Chemical-grade methanol for formaldehyde, olefins, and acetic acid value chains
  • Synergy with our pyrolysis platform — shared feedstock, logistics, and syngas expertise

From Feedstock Advantage to Molecule Advantage

We enter each molecule platform the same way we built our CBG and biochar businesses — feedstock first, partnerships early, execution fast.

1

Feedstock Control

Our existing residue aggregation networks — sugar belt, palm, coconut, and farm clusters — give every molecule platform a secured, contracted raw material base.

2

Proven Technology Partners

We license and integrate commercially demonstrated conversion technologies rather than betting on unproven science — compressing time to first molecule.

3

Offtake-Led Development

Projects are anchored by long-term offtake with airlines, shipping lines, and chemical majors before construction — de-risking financing and accelerating scale.

4

Certified & Traceable

Every molecule carries full sustainability certification — ISCC, CORSIA eligibility, and lifecycle carbon accounting — built into operations from day one.
