Company Overview

Cetna Energy is an Alabama‑based developer and operator of thermochemical conversion facilities producing renewable natural gas, methanol, diesel, jet fuel, gasoline, and hydrogen from residual woody biomass feedstocks. Our platform utilizes a proprietary, high‑efficiency thermochemical process that consistently delivers 30–45% higher yields than conventional biomass‑to‑fuels pathways.

The core process is derived from a century‑old thermochemical foundation, with more than four decades of targeted engineering advancements in reactor design, heat integration, gas cleanup, and upgrading. These improvements have increased carbon conversion efficiency, reduced parasitic load, and enabled stable continuous operation at commercial scale. The resulting system achieves competitive economics at significantly smaller plant footprints and lower capital intensity than traditional gasification or pyrolysis‑based technologies.

All finished products meet ASTM and industry specifications identical to their fossil‑derived counterparts, ensuring full compatibility with existing refining, distribution, and end‑use infrastructure. Lifecycle analyses indicate that Cetna’s process reduces greenhouse gas emissions and criteria pollutants by more than 90% relative to conventional fossil fuel production, driven by high carbon utilization, optimized heat recovery, and the use of sustainable biomass feedstocks.

Cetna Energy’s development model integrates proven unit operations, modular plant design, and regionally sourced feedstocks to deliver commercially viable, low‑carbon fuels with strong project‑level returns. Our team continues to advance process optimization, site development, and deployment strategies to support scalable, economically competitive renewable fuel production across the Central Alabama and beyond.

We at Cetna are proud to be an integral part of solving the world's energy and environmental problems and to be doing so in a manner that offers excellent profitability and good jobs at the same time.  To learn more about the company, it's management, and other opportunities surrounding Cetna Energy, please feel free to explore the rest of the website or reach out to us with any questions or comments.
