Molecula Ltd

Molecula Limited is an Irish‑based renewable‑chemical technology company that unlocks the full economic potential of biodiesel production. By applying practical chemistry to lipid molecules, Molecula tackles the fundamental process limitations that have held the industry back for decades, delivering reliable, high‑value outputs without the need to replace existing plant infrastructure.

The company’s flagship offering, the ProCat® 50 catalyst, eliminates the formation of soap during the trans‑esterification of fats and oils. This breakthrough removes the costly water‑washing step, accelerates batch turnover and enables true process automation. In addition, the resulting glycerol stream is >98 % pure and soap‑free, providing an ideal feedstock for downstream renewable‑chemical ventures valued at over $20 billion. Molecula’s technology can be retro‑fitted to current biodiesel facilities, often achieving capital pay‑back in under six months while optimising manufacturing costs.

Molecula serves biodiesel producers seeking to enhance operational reliability, increase product value and secure sustainable returns, positioning them to capitalise on the rapidly expanding renewable‑diesel (RD) and sustainable‑aviation‑fuel (SAF) markets.
