ADURO CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES INC.

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION

The Aduro mission is to develop and commercialize technologies based on its novel, patent-protected, versatile chemical technology 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 in-situ generation of a latent form of hydrogen derived from certain low cost, 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 H-source under significantly milder conditions without the requirement for such catalysts.

To the Company's knowledge, Aduro HCT demonstrates superior performance compared to current approaches for upgrading petroleum feedstocks or for chemical recycling of waste plastics, due in part to its operation at relatively lower temperatures. Based on the Company's research, such HCT-based processing may contribute to improved product quality, energy efficiency, and a reduced environmental footprint, when compared to traditional chemical recycling approaches such as pyrolysis, Hydrothermal Liquefication ("HTL"), or gasification. The technology's configurability 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 application of the Company's technology for partial upgrading of crude oil upgrading may be cleaner and more sustainable than conventional blending or partial upgrading techniques.

The Aduro chemical recycling technology platform, rather than being single purpose may be refined and implemented in ways that potentially may lead to a reduced operational and environmental footprint across a range of applications. Equally important, the Company believes that it also reduces the environmental impact associated with certain petroleum production and processing, landfilling, waste incineration and gasification processes.

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.
