WHO WE ARE

Renewable/Sustainable Low Carbon Fuels
and Chemicals Integrated Biorefinery

Welcome to BioPower Energy Solutions

We are a biorefinery committed to providing high-quality
low carbon products

BioPower Energy Solutions LLC is a joint venture between Quazar Investment and Petron Sentech Inc. created to build, own and operate a world-class biorefinery in the United Arab Emirates. Our purpose is clear, to transform the global energy sector by replacing petroleum with renewable and sustainable alternatives driving measurable climate impacted long-term value.

Our Products And Solutions

novating With Purpose

Ethanol

Produced through fermentation of sugars, ethanol is a renewable, high-octane fuel and versatile chemical feedstock. It significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum fuels, whether blended with gasoline or used independently. Ethanol is also vital in producing bio-based chemicals and industrial applications, supporting the transition to cleaner energy.

Animal Nutrition Protein Feed (DDGS)

Distiller’s Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) is a nutrient-rich co-product of ethanol production. High in protein and energy, it serves as an excellent feed for cattle, poultry, and livestock, reducing dependence on traditional feed sources. DDGS helps close the food-energy loop, ensuring sustainability across both energy and agriculture sectors.

Edible Corn Oil

Edible corn oil is a multipurpose product widely used in the food industry and as a key feedstock for biodiesel. It is favored for its nutritional qualities, and large quantities are further processed for soaps, paints, and industrial applications. Corn oil demonstrates how biorefineries extend beyond fuels to create everyday essentials. 

Animal Nutrition Protein Feed (DDGS)

SAF is an alternative jet fuel derived from renewable feedstocks, capable of cutting aviation’s carbon footprint by up to 50% compared to conventional fuel. It can be blended seamlessly with existing jet fuel and is already in use globally, including by major airlines. SAF plays a critical role in achieving net-zero aviation goals while ensuring flight safety and performance.

Drop-in Renewable Diesel

Made from natural oils and fats, renewable diesel is chemically identical to petroleum diesel and can be used in existing engines without modification. It reduces lifecycle emissions, provides reliable performance, and supports decarbonisation in road transport, logistics, and heavy industry. Its “drop-in” compatibility makes it a practical and immediate solution for clean energy adoption.

Bio-Methanol

A renewable alcohol derived from biomass or gasification, bio-methanol is a versatile fuel and industrial feedstock. It offers high energy content with low emissions and is increasingly used in marine shipping, fuel cells, and chemical manufacturing. Its ability to fully degrade into CO₂ and water makes it a safer and more sustainable alternative to fossil-based methanol.

Bio-EC

As a part of the second phase, Bio-EC (bio-based electrolytic compounds) serve as advanced lithium battery electrolytes that optimize ion transport, improving energy density, safety, and overall performance. With renewable storage at the core of the clean energy transition, Bio-EC drives the advancement of next-generation batteries, supporting the move toward electric mobility and large-scale renewable integration.

Biogenic CO₂

Biogenic CO₂ is released during biomass combustion or decomposition and, unlike fossil-based CO₂, is part of the natural carbon cycle. It can be captured, reused, or stored to create sustainable industrial inputs or converted into new energy products. Biogenic CO₂ is key to carbon neutrality strategies, turning emissions into valuable resources within a circular economy.

Green Hydrogen

Produced via electrolysis using renewable electricity, green hydrogen generates zero direct emissions and replaces fossil fuels across industries. It can power vehicles, supply heat, or serve as feedstock for industrial processes. By supporting both electricity and industrial applications, green hydrogen is a cornerstone technology for achieving global Net Zero and energy independence.

Our Impact

Driving Measurable Change

By leveraging advanced commercially proven technologies, BioPower is set to reduce over 1.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions supporting the UAE’s leadership in renewable energy and sustainability.
