Proprietary deep-tech technologies
Leveraging on patented deep-tech technologies, Green COP specializes in the production of sustainable drop-in biofuels derived from agricultural biowaste with a strategic focus on fostering a circular economy in the maritime and transportation sectors.

The company has developed an end-to-end solution for biowaste such as sugarcane bagasse, corn stover, rice straw, empty fruit bunches (EFB), and palm oil mill effluent (POME).
According to the company, its proprietary feedstock pretreatment and aerobic fermentation technology is non-energy intensive and yields more efficient drop-in fuels that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, facilitating a smooth transition to sustainable energy solutions.
The alcohol-based biofuels boast an extended shelf life of more than 24 months and contribute to a significant 30 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
Fund a pilot plant
With the newly acquired funds, the value of which has not been disclosed, the company is poised to establish a sustainable biofuels pilot plant with a daily production capacity of 1 tonne.
Furthermore, in a soon-to-be-announced development, Green COP’s strategic collaboration with a leading global integrated palm oil player aims to leverage synergies in sustainable practices, further enhancing Green COP’s capabilities in transforming biowaste into sustainable biofuels.
We are grateful for the trust and confidence demonstrated by our investors. This funding, enables us to launch a pilot biofuels plant, a transformative milestone in our start-up journey. With Mr Teo’s guidance, we are well-positioned for success in the next phase, ended Dr Hanson Lee.
