Technology

Innovative by Design turnkey by delivery

WCP combines proven technologies into integrated, project-specific systems for the production of lower-carbon-intensity marine fuels from waste.

Practical technology, not technology for its own sake. Our focus is on proven process elements, intelligent integration, commercial viability and fuels that can work with existing marine operations.
Our Technology Approach

Proven building blocks. Innovative integration.

WCP is technology agnostic. We do not force projects into a single proprietary process or a fixed technology stack. Instead, we evaluate the feedstock, target fuel, location, scale, infrastructure and commercial requirements of each opportunity before selecting the most appropriate proven technologies.

The innovation lies in how these technologies are combined, integrated and configured into a complete production solution. This allows each project to be designed around the real operating environment rather than around the limitations of one technology provider.

The result is a practical route from waste feedstock to lower-carbon-intensity fuel, supported by engineering, infrastructure, supply-chain and financing partners selected for the needs of the project.

Independent technology selection allows WCP to design the solution around the project, not the project around the technology.
Technology Principles

Engineered for performance, adoption and long-term relevance

WCP evaluates technology through the lens of the complete project. Technical performance matters, but so do cost, operability, feedstock flexibility, scalability and customer adoption.

01 / PROVEN

Built on proven technologies

WCP selects process technologies with a credible operating basis and combines them in ways that suit the feedstock, product specification and project scale.

02 / INNOVATIVE

Innovation through integration

The value is created by selecting, configuring and integrating the right technologies into a more effective total solution for the specific project.

03 / COMMERCIAL

Designed around project economics

Technology choices are assessed alongside capital cost, operating cost, feedstock economics, delivered fuel price and financeability.

04 / PRACTICAL

Focused on real-world adoption

WCP prioritises fuel pathways that can integrate with existing marine operations and avoid unnecessary changes to vessels, storage and distribution.

Turnkey Project Delivery

From feedstock opportunity to operating fuel production

WCP's role extends beyond technology selection. We bring together the elements required to turn a viable concept into a complete, deliverable project.

01

Feedstock

Secure suitable waste-derived inputs with the required quality, availability and long-term supply profile.

02

Process Design

Select and integrate the most appropriate proven technologies for conversion into the target fuel.

03

Engineering

Develop the plant, utilities, infrastructure, storage, logistics and operating requirements around the process.

04

Commercial Structure

Align project economics, partners, financing, feedstock supply and fuel offtake.

05

Delivery

Take the project through validation, construction, commissioning and the route into operation.

No Refit Pathway

Lower-carbon marine fuel without replacing the fleet

One of WCP's core technology priorities is the production of marine fuels that can be used within existing diesel engines, vessels and fuel infrastructure.

This is important because a large part of the maritime market needs a route to lower carbon intensity that does not depend on immediate fleet replacement, dual-fuel conversion or major changes to bunkering and storage.

Technology that works with existing operations

Where the selected fuel pathway allows, WCP aims to reduce the practical barriers that often slow the adoption of alternative fuels.

01 No major engine retrofit requirement for compatible fuel pathways.
02 Potential use of existing vessel fuel systems and onboard operating practices.
03 Reduced need for new storage and distribution infrastructure.
04 A faster and more practical route to fleet-wide adoption.
Technology Development

Configured around the opportunity

Each project starts with the commercial and operating requirement, then works backwards to the most appropriate technical solution.

1. Understand the input

Assess the waste feedstock, composition, availability, location, logistics and long-term supply characteristics.

2. Define the required output

Establish the target fuel specification, performance, carbon-intensity objective, scale and customer operating requirements.

3. Build the right process

Select and integrate the proven technologies, engineering and infrastructure that best connect the available feedstock with the required product.

Technology Flexibility

Not locked into a single process

WCP's technology-agnostic model creates flexibility as feedstocks, regulation, economics and available technologies evolve.

Feedstock flexibility

Different waste streams can require different preparation, conversion and process configurations.

Technology evolution

New or improved process technologies can be assessed as they become commercially proven and relevant.

Project scale

Solutions can be structured around the scale supported by feedstock availability, location, infrastructure and fuel demand.

Commercial route

Technology and plant design can be aligned with the preferred ownership, licensing, development or offtake model.

Validation & Assurance

Technology choices must stand up to scrutiny

Before a project moves forward, WCP assesses whether the proposed technology configuration can support the required product quality, carbon performance, operating reliability, project economics and route to finance.

Fuel performance Product specification, consistency and suitability for the intended marine application.
Process performance Expected conversion efficiency, reliability, integration and operating requirements.
Commercial performance Capital cost, operating cost and the resulting delivered fuel economics.
Delivery readiness Engineering, infrastructure, supply chain, partners and project execution capability.
