Quadrise Fuels: who we are Quadrise Fuels is the licensor and supplier of Our Mission unique and innovative upgrading technology, To be the world's leading oil-in-water emulsion MSAR®, in the downstream oil sector. MSAR® is fuels business, providing our proprietary technology a technology which produces a lower cost and and services to enable our customers to derive cleaner synthetic Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) for marine, significant economic and environmental advantages power and industrial applications. We offer fully delivered by the production and use of MSAR® integrated solutions for oil refiners and end users. synthetic fuel oil products.

What is MSAR® – Multiphase Superfine Atomised Residue: • MSAR® is proven, proprietary oil • MSAR® fuel is a low viscosity liquid at • Our technology and IP is underpinned refinery upgrading technology room temperature, which makes it by our long term relationship with offering material economic and easier to handle and reduces heating AkzoNobel, one of the world’s leading environmental benefits to MSAR® costs during storage, transport and use specialty chemicals companies. producers and consumers. in comparison to HFO.

Our strategic approach Delivering value globally Our strategy is to work with Marine leading global companies • Initial focus supporting commercial roll out with Mærsk (fleet of circa 600 owned and managed in the refining, shipping and vessels) 9.5M mt/a (6% of marine fuel market). power-utility markets to develop, • Expand into other commercial shipping simultaneously, the capacity to operators through common fuel hubs. both produce and consume Power • Initial focus commercial roll-out in the Kingdom MSAR® emulsion fuels on a of Saudi Arabia – 51M mt/a oil for Power commercial scale. generation (42% of power market). • Expand selectively into other markets in Middle East and Asia.
