Houston American Energy Corp., through its subsidiary Abundia Global Impact Group, has begun work on the first phase of its renewable fuels complex in Baytown, Texas. Located in the Cedar Port Industrial Park, the site will house an innovation centre and a research and development (R&D) facility, marking the start of the group’s industrial strategy in waste-to-energy solutions.
The Abundia Innovation Center will focus on technological coordination, project development, and operations management, while the R&D building will include specialised laboratories, pilot systems, and analytical infrastructure to test technologies converting waste into fuels and chemical products.
Technical partners engaged in the initial phase
Construction for this first phase is being carried out by Corvus Construction Company under a design-build contract. Powers Brown Architecture is providing architectural services, Dynamic Engineering is responsible for geotechnical design, and BNI Engineers is leading structural design. Completion of the two buildings is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026.
Located in one of North America’s largest industrial parks, the project aims to integrate scalable technological capabilities close to the region’s petrochemical value chain. The site will serve as an industrial platform for the development and commercialisation of circular fuel solutions.
Targeting industrial-scale plastic conversion
Future phases of the project will include a chemical recycling facility to convert mixed plastic waste into renewable fuels and chemical feedstocks. No overall investment figure has been disclosed to date, but management has confirmed that the current construction represents a strategic milestone for the group’s industrial expansion.
The site, which will eventually host large-scale processing operations, aligns with a clear industrial focus on waste treatment. The stated goal is to build a platform capable of sustaining continuous production of alternative fuels for multiple markets.
