“This funding enables us to launch a pilot biofuels plant, a transformative milestone in our startup journey,” said Hanson Lee, Co-Founder and CEO of Green COP.

The deeptech startup has also appointed maritime veteran Teo Teng Seng as Chairman.

Green COP produces sustainable biofuels derived from biowaste, strategically focusing on fostering a circular economy in the maritime and transportation sectors. Its patented pre-treatment and fermentation technology yields more efficient drop-in fuels that seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, facilitating a smooth transition to sustainable energy solutions.

Unlike traditional fuels, Green COP’s colourless alcohol-based biofuels offer a cleaner, eco-conscious energy alternative. Its biofuels have an extended shelf life of more than 24 months, contributing to a 30 per cent reduction in Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions.
