Recycling that Fuels the Energy Transition

Our Purpose

A Tremendous Global Opportunity.

With over 28 billion litres of UMO generated annually and only 20% of this UMO recycled, there exists a tremendous opportunity to solve the world’s UMO problem and recycle this valuable resource. The US Department of Energy has issued a number of recommendations and acknowledged the opportunity that exists to recycle UMO.

Our small modular recycling plants enable the solution to be brought to the problem addressing a number of the common barriers that exist to recycling UMO today. Our premium in-demand product is sold into a large market, whereby if all of the world’s UMO was processed and sold through our recycling plants it would only account for 7% of the global marine fuel market.

A Proven Patented Process with a Validated Market

We have taken a technology that has been used in adjacent market for over a century and perfected it for the processing of UMO, with 2 million litres of UMO processed through our Pilot Plant. We have sold the product to the largest shipping container company in the world who have blended it seamlessly with their existing fuels and want more. We are ready to deploy this technology first in North America and then globally. Come join our journey.

Our Legacy

An innovative idea with a rich history.

Bernard George Habicht (1916 – 2011) changed the way farmers harvest their crops when he invented the original rotary combine. Decades later, his intuitions regarding the recycling of used motor oil came to life as an initial prototype, actualized when his grandson and founder of EnerPure, Todd Habicht, recognized the technology’s global potential.

The scalable, impactful and sustainable energy solution that our generation needs, now.

Todd Habicht

CEO & Founder

Mr. Habicht has over 20 years’ experience as a successful entrepreneur in multiple businesses including developing an innovative printing process for the packaging industry, as well as growing a successful cell phone business from a single location to ten stores servicing retail and corporate clients in the middle region of Canada.

These business interests were sold in 2005 to undertake a new and exciting challenge to commercialize a technology for refining used oil to diesel. This opportunity was envisioned from a small proto type refinery invented by his grandfather, a well renowned inventor. Todd has significantly expanded the scope of the opportunity from producing and distributing diesel fuel from a single location, to producing and distributing the micro-refinery models worldwide.

As the founder of EnerPure, Todd provides leadership and vision to maintain the smooth and efficient operation of the company. His broad range of experience brings practical knowledge to EnerPure that he imparts with regaling and enthralling tales.
