 Guys, welcome back to the Independent Investor Channel. So good to have you and introduce you to a company that I've just recently been to introduce to myself and will actually be taking a share position in. I do receive compensation for providing these profiling, but let me caveat this. Those disclaimers will be provided in the description below and I will chronicle. I'm in the shares now about 2100 shares and I will be achieving about a 25,000 share position for full disclosure. Aduro Clean Technologies has just entered into the Game Changer program with Shell Oil. This is a big deal. Aduro Clean Technologies is about a $40 million market cap currently. It does own its own IP and what they've basically done is they have solved the plastic recycling problem. Now they do have some other verticals within the business. We will discuss those verticals as we get into the investor slide deck as well as discuss the current position of the stock. I would rather not focus on that, rather the technology's most recent development in collaborating with Shell in bringing their proprietary technology to bear, which is far and away the best solution in this niche marketplace. There are some 2025 mandates that are going to require all the major companies out there, guys, and we're talking across the board. For you guys that really can sit back and understand how dominant plastic is in our world in 2022, the irony and the whole thing is we haven't figured out how to properly recycle the hard to recycle plastics out there. Aduro Clean Technology has just discovered this and they've been working on this for the last 10 years. They've been doing it under the radar and just as of late, they have just entered into a groundbreaking game changer program with Shell to help accelerate their technology to mass commercialization. Now when that's going to happen, we don't know. The company's probably in the process of being re-rated right now, but it is timely enough for us to push forward this awareness profiling on Aduro Clean Technologies. I would expect that every investor out there take this for what it is is an introduction to a company that the hard work has already been done. Like I said, 10 years in the making and have you ever heard of the company? No. So sit back and enjoy this introduction to a company that I've got about 20 hours of due diligence on. I will continue to evolve with the company. The original timelines that were projected for realized revenues of the company have just been blown out of the water with this recent announcement where Shell is basically going to partner with Aduro Clean Technologies and they are going to help them to commercialization with both utilizing their in-house resources as well as some compensation to help accelerate their third-party validated technology. We know works using low-heat water-based methods to break down those plastics that typically end up in our oceans and in our landfills. This is a story that is near and dear to my heart. Please stay tuned as we jump into the investor and corporate presentation from Aduro Clean Technologies as they march forward in their initiative to solve the plastic problem to address the one-time use of our plastic products and to close the loop on what we are pursuing in way of a circular economy. Guys, appreciate it. Let's jump into the investor slide deck and get into Aduro Clean Technologies. Love to introduce you guys to Aduro Clean Technologies. We're going to jump into the corporate presentation. You can find this and much more information on the cutting-edge technology that Aduro brings to bear at adurocleantech.com. It's hard to believe in 2022 that it's taken this long to bring forward a solution that is practical, does not take an over-amount of energy and is not under-efficient. Aduro has solved this problem on all fronts and really has brought forward a next-generation solution using low-heat, using low energy, and providing a solution that on the back end can be used for and complete the recycling circle, which is everybody's gold here with a circular economy, to make sure that what we are producing doesn't get subjected to a one-time use and end up in our oceans and our landfills, which is currently the situation for over 80% of our plastics that we produce. Aduro uses what they call the hydrochemiletic technology. It is next-gen technology. It is incomparable across the landscape when you look at the efficiency of this technology. It's low heat, so low energy cost on the input side. Therefore, that cost savings can be quantified on the back end when this technology is brought to bear. A lot of the competing technologies don't even stack up at all against Aduro's technology because it just costs too much to run the technology. That's kind of what it comes down to. Now, Aduro does set itself apart with its patent protection. I consider the IP to have an extremely, extremely wide moat. They do have six-issued one pending and much more in development. When we're looking at their addressable markets, I'm going to focus primarily on the plastic market with the current developments in Aduro being selected for the Game Changer program with Shell. But they do have other verticals that they will be expanding into. The bitman upgrading is very, very exciting and also looking to take and leverage their technology in other areas. But for right now, it's really important to focus on the wide cutting edge over the technology right now that other companies are looking to deploy in the space. The one aspect of this slide that I want to highlight is the third-party independent technology validation that occurred. It's not just Aduro stepping forward and saying, hey, we have the best solution. This was actually verified by a third-party independent technology company. And very, very important in understanding that this technology works. And this slide speaks to what the roadmap to commercialization would have been prior to the Shell deal. This slide is actually outdated because they talked about the three-tier step into starting with a smaller reactor, which the R2 project will still remain in line here, but they're not going to have to do a three-stage or a three-part step in. It's now going to be accelerated with the assistance of Shell to bring their technology to bear quicker, which is really why we're so aggressive on making sure that investors have all the information that they need because this story is moving so rapidly at this current pace. And when we get down to the projections, you're going to understand how this phase-in process, how they were going to take the first reactor learnings and segue those into the second and then subsequently the third reactor phase and take the learnings from each as they stepped into the larger continuous feed reactor. And then finally an iteration of the reactor that could be taken to commercial scale. All of that right now has just been accelerated to the maximum extent now that Aduro has been selected by Shell and their Game Changer program because Shell is going to assist them with all of what is mentioned on this slide that spoke to a previous internal and organic type of step into the process. And the Shell news has really changed all of that. So expect that this story is going to rapidly accelerate as this reactor gets brought online and they have the opportunity to put this technology into a much larger continuous flow type of an operation. So the three verticals that I spoke of previously here, I am going to focus on the plastics right now, the recycling and upcycling of the plastics, but it is safe to mention that the Aduro technology does scale across many verticals and the total addressable market is very serious. We are going to keep the short term focus on the plastic developments, but it is incredible to understand the Aduro opportunity in its entirety. And then this just speaks to the other markets that they are going to take their technology and leverage it in. So the space right now is aggressively looking for a solution and this just speaks to some of the solutions that are currently out there. Aduro stands alone with its technology, but it is incredible here to understand that the mandates that are coming down are going to drive the the necessity for these companies to select their technology. One other important piece to note here is that Shell has already selected Aduro Clean technology. It is done. They are in. And if you don't think that that's going to get the attention of not only the other oil majors, but also some of these other large plastic producing companies, which is pretty much every company out there, this just earmarks a few, but do not underscore the hunger right now in scouring over this to try to determine what technology is going to win out. Shell has already made their decision and that is going to make waves in the industry. And I can expect over the coming months that it is going to absolutely put Aduro on the map if not already from the recent developments of them being selected into the Game Changer program. So in the hydrochemical plastic upcycling here, you can see the liquid yield at over 90%. It just far and away the best solution. I have done my due diligence on the others. I'm not going to focus on the other companies that are bringing other technologies to bear. I will just say that in my research, it has required a massive amount of heat to be inputted, which creates or requires a massive amount of energy to actually deconstruct these plastics. And with Aduro's technology, they're able to yield over 90% of the input from the feedstock and actually recover that at a relatively low temperature with their technology. It really does set them apart. It differentiates Aduro from the competition out there. If you want to call it that, Aduro stands alone in this process and the technology that has been validated third party and now has been selected by one of the major companies out there to be accelerated in their path to commercialization. So exciting times here as we monitor this technology really being leveraged and put to good use on a massive scale. I just want to differentiate between what this slide is communicating to the audience in the life cycle of our plastics and the idea of upcycling the plastic. Recycling right now currently does not work. We have a one-time use currently where the plastics are ending up, where they're not supposed to be in landfills and in the ocean. The idea here is that if we can take this feedstock and put it into this reactor, we have the ability to take and produce material that can actually be upscaled and not have to just return it into what it was previously used for. And I think this is fascinating to provide some optionality that once the material is produced on the back end, the idea is that you can take what was previously lent to waste in our landfills to deteriorate and off gas to the atmosphere and now the ability to take that feedstock and put it in and actually have a product that is better than the original input is really the takeaway here and previously the polyethylene, polypropylene, and the polystyrene have been lent to waste because the technology just did not exist to break down those chemical molecules. And now here the life cycle from the Enduro process would suggest that is not only possible, but also to upcycle to other products that are needed in the marketplace. This slide is important to just it speaks to the total input of tonnage estimates per year of feedstock into and leveraging the Enduro clean technology and what that could potentially mean for both Enduro and the businesses that they are partnered with. A payback year of around six to seven years on the technology is fabulous after that they own it. They own the equipment that has been put into that and Enduro will continue to make residual licensing income off of that and the projections are staggering. If they can get this accelerated to the marketplace we can really start to bring this technology to bear and start to enjoy all of the positive benefits of actually seeing this technology at mass scale for both Enduro, but also the customers that they serve and more importantly the world that we live in. This slide is awesome. This basically just takes the amount of input that could be projected and utilizing the Enduro clean technology for their customers what it could mean both on the licensing and or the owned and operated side. Now I don't know what direction they're going to move. I think it'll probably be a combination of both to start, but I think Enduro is probably going to stand to benefit a much more from the licensing aspect of this business model. This slide just speaks to the opportunity with both when with an anticipated input of each stock to the to the process here what are the gross margins which are fabulous between 40 and 50 percent and what the payback for their customers could mean which is super important when they sit across the table and they offer this technology. Now mind you this model is is only applicable to a certain number of tonnage. They could meet this with certain majors just with one company. So you take this model model and you multiply it many times over you could expect that Enduro could stand to benefit from multiple licensing deals with many of the majors out there using this same input model of anticipated feedstock that can continuously flow into the reactors and be processed providing that payback 24 hours a day seven days a week to the customers that they serve. Prior to the announcement of the shell acceptance to the game changer program for Enduro clean technology this timeline would have proved to be the insight to the commercial development plans using the scaled-in approach that I spoke about at the top of the presentation. This no longer is valid and I don't know what the additional revisions to this timeline are going to be with the shell news but it is completely uprooted and it has completely changed the game for Enduro. So instead of having to go through this organically which they were provided grant money Enduro sits on a pretty good cash position but to execute across this timeline to 2027 would have been fairly capital intensive that my friends is gone. Shell has not only partnered with Enduro in way of seeing this technology to commercialization faster but also to offer some of their in-house resources to actually help accelerate the Enduro technology to commercialization. So where this was prudent in stepping through the process of putting the reactors online making sure that any learnings from the reactors that were put in can be adopted in the next generation of reactors all that has changed and stand by for roles we will continue to cover the developing story as this timeline has been condensed incredibly from 2027 to an undisclosed amount nobody can tell how quickly this announcement is going to bring the Enduro technology to bear but stand by for roles and we will cover those developments as they unfold on this very very exciting story. These discussions for subsequent hubs for the reactors are still ongoing I don't think anything would have changed here I just think that we are pushed into an accelerated timeframe now with the potential of having these reactors available to Enduro clean technologies and the customers that they serve sooner than later with the assistance of Shell and bringing the technology to bear quicker than what these original extension and expansion plans called prior to the announcement here just this week. So this timetable to step into potential recurring revenue for Enduro clean technology has also changed. We can anticipate that the non-recurring revenue during the customer trials will also be mitigated as well with the assistance of Shell bringing the technology to bear quicker. I would expect that the the breakeven point will be reached earlier that's just my presumption guys I'm using the data that has been previously released from Enduro and combining the new data that we have and this announcement with Shell is so new that nobody knows how these numbers are going to shake out but it would be safe to presume that these numbers will shift to the left and we will expect that a breakeven is met earlier because we know that Shell is going to assist with some of what Enduro previously projected to be some in-house cost in developing this product it's denoted here on the chart those should be negligible now with the assistance of Shell not only with financial resource but also in-house expertise and consulting that Shell is going to bring to bear and assist Enduro in bringing this to commercialization quicker for the benefit of Shell and also Enduro in bringing it to other customers out there who also will need this technology. Important to note on this slide here that the share float is tiny just over 87 million shares 46 percent dare I just suggest half of all insiders own this stock this has been the best kept secret for the last 10 years as they've developed this technology and these folks who are involved with this are serious and so you guys are getting to sit back and have this introduced to you in a matter of minutes when this is just over a decade in development and the insider ownership just speaks to the conviction over this technology how well it works and the potential that exists with this company company sits at about in between a 40 and 50 million dollar market cap right now I would expect that the re-rating is happening as we speak the value over the IP is probably double just what the market cap is as a total company that's how big this announcement was but I also suspect that the hundred million in value that I put on the IP is probably also being re-rated to the upside there's so standby for roles here as we try to earmark a value on this company with the exciting news that has just been released this week this is just a wonderful summary slide showing the comparison to traditional technologies that have been put to work here and how aduro really separates itself on multiple multiple fronts and only to be validated by the shell acceptance to the game changer program its financial elasticity it really does have a low operating expenditure and capital expenditure it is scalable lower cost when compared to its peers it is flexible it minimizes the byproduct which is huge so I talked about the 90% efficiency on the back end of the product that's produced after recycled for the potential of upcycling for their customers so the advantages are real aduro really does have a wide separation from its competition and it's incredible to see the competitive advantage that they have in the technology that they're bringing to bear here and it's going to be exciting to see once they're able to scale up and see this work on a massive scale for aduro technology and the customers that they serve always like to shed some light on the upper management and this is a who's who on this aduro technologies team these guys are incredible led by over vikas the co-founder and ceo of the company marcus trigestad he is also has a wealth of knowledge in the space here many many interviews are available i've reviewed many featuring dr anil zhawar and gene kamik as well some incredible incredible interviews and driving this initiative forward is really going to fall on the backs of this team here and i cannot expect that anything less than spectacular results from this aduro clean technologies team here moving this initiative forward over the coming years why invest now that's a question that you need to answer for yourself i've disclosed an investment in this company my due diligence was about triple what i typically do on on providing awareness content through my youtube channel but the bottom really speaks to from a comparative perspective and how undervalued aduro is they have the best technology and they're one of the most undervalued companies in the space quickly to be accelerated by the acceptance into the game changer program by shell their their high output over 80 percent of of just incredible output on their yields as well as their share ownership at 50 percent which is right aligned with investors look you're investing right alongside management here for a company that i feel like is really flying under the radar this is a very unknown company and it's been a development for 10 years we've spoke about that and the technology having been validated by the third party it's going to be exciting to see the scale and really look to solve this global problem that we that we deemed the plastic problem and i i am of the determination that aduro clean technology has actually solved the plastic problem and it's going to be exciting to see how this company develops its technology with the existence of big industry going forward but it just speaks to the investing opportunity that could be unfolding right before our eyes with aduro clean technologies so on behalf of aduro clean technologies i'd like to thank you for staying with me through this presentation as we cover the corporate presentation as disclosed by aduro tech this and much more information can be found on the company's website at www.adurocleantech.com and you can contact either abe dick or over vikas they provide their contacts here through the website i thank you again reach out if you have any questions on this amazing cutting-edge technology that is going to take us into the next generation of recycling and upcycling in an attempt to clean up the plastic problem in this world thank you so much really appreciate it we'll kick you back and we'll conclude the video guys so we've come out of the profiling of aduro clean technologies i think you can tell my excitement level of this is through the roof but that's not my job to come on and show excitement where business is the most prudent recipe for doing your own due diligence and looking into the exciting technology that aduro clean technology has broke the team is fantastic they own half the company so they are aligned with shareholders in this goal going forward the ability to produce this product at such a high efficiency rate on the back end of either upscaling or up recycling their product after this continuous feedstock is put into the reactors is going to be a game changer for the majors think about those institutions out there and the amount of reliance that we have on plastic to deliver anything from a tide bottle to a Tylenol bottle our plastic recycling has been deficient for the decades and we have been stumped in our ability to actually recycle as hard to recycle plastics and hopefully you took away the ability of aduro clean technology to do it at an extremely high efficiency level to look at the competition on the landscape and compare market caps right now aduro clean technology is unknown it's going to change and it's going to change quickly with the validation that has just been put in place within the the last couple of days so we are hours removed of this groundbreaking announcement of validation from shell oil and there's no bigger who's who in the oil industry in validating this technology and and really looking to put this to the rigor of commercialization and continuous flow to realize the dream of aduro clean technology and that's finally closing the loop on the plastic recycling loop and actually promoting a circular economy where we can actually reuse that waste that we're putting in to the economy and making sure that we're getting that those products back and can reintroduce those for commercial use on the other end guys I appreciate you tuning into the message all the information used in the making of this video is going to be provided in the description as well as many articles that I read reviewing the space if you are one of those people like me who just assumed that all plastics got recycled and reused you need to learn yourself up because I think that's the number one piece that you'll get out of this message is the education and understanding that over 80 of our plastics end up in the oceans or in the landfills and until now aduro clean technology is looking to march us into the next generation using their technology and leverage the power of that technology to provide benefit to their customers aduro clean technologies and more importantly the world as a whole please subscribe to the channel leave your comments at the bottom of the video guys thank you so much for tuning in to the totality of this message this very important message near and dear to my heart on covering aduro clean technologies
