 | |||||||||
Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - Aug 27, 2025 – Expander Energy Inc. (“Expander”) and Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Inc. (“Rocky Mountain”) are pleased to announce that a letter of intent has been signed to jointly form Wheatland Synfuels Inc. (“Wheatland”) and to acquire Rocky Mountain’s state-of-the-art Carseland Synthetic fuel facility which will form the center piece to develop the site into a global leader in GTL Synthetic and Bio-Synthetic Fuel production.
The Wheatland Synfuels Complex will be developed in several stages:
CA0 Wheatland Synfuels Inc. will acquire the operational Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Inc. (RMCFI) Natural Gas to Liquids facility. The plant will be upgraded through several capacity and efficiency projects including the addition of a new Isomerization unit capable of producing Arctic Diesel and Synthetic Kerosene (Jet) as well as a new hydrogen purification unit to allow for Hydrogen vehicle fueling in the Calgary area.
CA1 Addition of a new Biomass Gasification unit capable of providing additional bio-syngas feed for the facility and increasing production by 8 million liters/year of Renewable, Low CI Bio-SynDiesel™ and Bio-SynJet™.
CA2 Two more Gasifiers will be added to maximize Bio-SynDiesel® / Bio-SynJet® production. Carbon Capture and sequestration will be added to reduce the life cycle Carbon intensity of the fuel to near zero (potentially as low as 5 gCO2e/MJ).
At completion of the above stages the facility will be producing 25 million litres per year of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and Sustainable Diesel.
A comprehensive financial model and business plan for the Wheatland Synfuels Complex has been developed. We will be working with stakeholders as well as strategic and financial partners to source funding for the overall program.
The completed facility will be a global showcase of next generation synthetic fuel production.
“We are pleased to be working with Expander to further develop the Carseland Synthetic fuel facility. The project will increase revenues over the short term through access to the premium offerings of Arctic Diesel, synthetic kerosene, Fischer Tropsch waxes and low CI hydrogen. Later stages will provide a pathway to the ultra high value Bio-Synthetic (Renewable) Diesel and Bio-SynJet®. “ - said Doug Geeraert, President of Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Inc.
“Expander is confident that there is sufficient strategic, financial and government support for this first commercial installation of Bio-Synthetic fuel production as well as the pipeline of projects which is developing.” said Gord Crawford, President of Expander Energy Inc.
