ADURO CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES INC.

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

Aduro's mission is to develop and commercialize applications based on its novel, patent-protected Hydrochemolytic platform that enables the transformation of lower-value feedstocks into higher-value chemicals and fuels. In doing so, the Company believes it addresses important and pressing issues faced by the global community. Originally conceived to radically enhance aspects of petroleum processing, the patent protected technology is based on leveraging unique properties of water to achieve two important outcomes. First is the transformation of intractable post-consumer plastics and tire rubber, as well as renewable oils and bitumen, into manageable liquid intermediates. Then follows their stabilization by the generation of a latent form of hydrogen derived from cheap, non-petroleum sources such as biomass ("H-source"). This second step performs the function of decades-old processes that rely on fossil-fuel-derived molecular hydrogen applied at elevated temperatures and pressure in the presence of expensive catalysts. By contrast, HCT activates the renewable H-source under significantly milder conditions without the requirement for such catalysts.

To the Company's knowledge, Aduro HCT demonstrates superior efficiency compared to current approaches designed to process petroleum feedstocks, designed to operate effectively at relatively low temperatures. Based on the Company's research, this design may contribute to improved product quality, energy efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint when compared to current approaches such as pyrolysis, Hydrothermal Liquefication "Liquefaction (HTL"), or gasification. The technology's modular configuration supports both standalone distributed deployment in remote locations and integration with existing infrastructure - including biodiesel/ethanol plants, waste processing facilities, and petrochemical operations. Current findings further suggest that the Company's technology also offers the possibility for partial upgrading of crude oil upgrading through methods that are cleaner and more sustainable than conventional blending or partial upgrading techniques.

Instead of being a single-purpose technology, Aduro Hydrochemolytic chemical recycling platform solutions can be applied in multiple ways that could lead to a reduced operational and environmental footprint. Equally important, the Company believes that it also reduces the environmental impact associated with some petroleum production and processing, landfilling, waste incineration and gasification.

The core Hydrochemolytic technology developed by the Company's team of experienced scientists and engineers demonstrates high versatility. Through their ingenuity and knowledge, they have enhanced and tuned it to address problems in three important techno-commercial sectors.
