11:39 AM EST, 11/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Aduro Clean Technologies ( ADUR ) up 19% on last look, said Thursday a global organization competed pilot-scale steam-cracking trials using the company's technologies with positive results.

Steam crackers are large-scale plants that provide building blocks for almost all plastics, starting from oil- and gas-derived feedstock. The company said circular oils produced by chemical recycling require further upgrading or pre-treatment (such as hydrotreatment) to meet input specifications. However, Aduro's hydrochemolytic technology achieves the transformation of plastics-to-liquid hydrocarbons with much higher saturation rate and lower impurity content, a statement said. The boiling range of the Aduro hydrochemolytic oil is also much lower than comparable chemical recycling oils.

The trials were carried out last month at a pilot-scale cracking facility in Europe, using a hydrocarbon liquid product Aduro produced from a mixed waste plastic feedstock. The hydrochemolytic oil was processed in the pilot-scale steam-cracking furnace, without dilution or further pre-treatment, under various operating conditions.

Aduro intends to collaborate with additional partners to evaluate feedstock quality, scalability, and integration pathways for its hydrochemolytic technology.

Aduro shares were last seen up $2.58 to $16.48 on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
