Company Description
Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. (NYSE American: AGIG), formerly Houston American Energy Corp., is described as a low-carbon energy company focused on converting waste into value. According to company disclosures, Abundia is developing commercial-scale facilities that transform waste plastics and biomass into drop-in fuels and low-carbon chemical feedstocks. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas and trades on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbol AGIG.
Abundia positions itself within the energy transition by concentrating on waste-to-fuel and waste-to-chemicals pathways. Its strategy centers on using waste streams that would otherwise be destined for landfill or incineration and deploying technology platforms that convert these materials into renewable fuels and chemical products. The company describes its approach as building a vertically integrated, commercially proven technology stack for the waste-to-value industry.
Business Focus and Technology Pathways
Abundia outlines two primary technology pathways that underpin its business model:
- Plastics waste-to-fuel segment: Through a Technology License and Services Agreement with Alterra Energy LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abundia acquired a license to Alterra’s proprietary liquefaction technology. This technology is used to design, build, operate, and maintain plants that transform discarded plastic into renewable hydrocarbons. Company materials state that this pathway is intended to produce high value renewable fuels and chemicals such as diesel, naphtha, and jet fuel.
- Biomass waste-to-fuel segment: Abundia reports that it has an agreement with BTG Bioliquids for fast pyrolysis technology. This pathway supports its biomass waste-to-fuel strategy, with an intended focus on the production of renewable diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from biomass-derived Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oil (FPBO).
The company emphasizes that both base technologies it relies on are commercially proven and operational at full scale at various locations in the United States and Europe. Abundia’s disclosures explain that, after additional upgrading steps that bolt on to these base technologies, the output is expected to be commercial-ready fuel and chemical products that can be used directly or blended into existing distribution infrastructure.
Licensing and Technology Agreements
In a Technology License and Services Agreement dated September 24, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abundia, AGIG Plastics to Liquids, LLC, acquired a license from Alterra Energy LLC. Under this agreement, Alterra granted rights to proprietary liquefaction technology for designated sites, enabling Abundia’s subsidiary to design, build, operate, and maintain plants that convert discarded plastic into renewable hydrocarbons. The agreement includes provisions for service packages, license fees based on site processing capacity, and quarterly payments of net site cash flow to Alterra.
An amendment to this license agreement, dated December 11, 2025, revised certain definitions and added provisions for additional services. In a related press release, Abundia reported that the original license granted rights to operate four sites in Europe and the UK and one site in the United States, and that an updated agreement secured rights to two additional plastics recycling sites in the United States. Company statements describe these additional U.S. sites as expanding Abundia’s opportunity in plastics recycling and waste-to-fuel operations.
Cedar Port Innovation Center and Project Development
Abundia identifies its flagship project as the Cedar Port Innovation Center, located at Cedar Port in Baytown, Texas. The company describes this 25-acre industrial site as its innovation center, operational headquarters, and hub for the end-to-end lifecycle of producing renewable fuels and chemicals. According to company communications, the Cedar Port site is intended to serve as a centralized innovation hub and the command center for deploying Abundia’s processes towards commercialization of its renewable products.
Abundia reports that it has initiated development at Cedar Port, including breaking ground on Phase 1 of the project. Phase 1 focuses on design, permitting, and construction of the innovation center, including an on-premises research and development facility. The company has identified Nexus PMG as engineering and services lead for the plastics recycling facility and innovation center development, and Corvus Construction as a general contractor for Phase 1 construction.
The company states that Cedar Port positions Abundia within the Gulf Coast’s energy and chemical infrastructure, with access to feedstock supply chains, upgrading partners, and end markets. This location is presented as important to its strategy of integrating technology partners, infrastructure, and market readiness partners to support the development of renewable fuels and chemical products from waste streams.
Corporate Transformation and Public Listing
Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. describes itself as the result of a corporate transformation involving Houston American Energy Corp. In company communications, Abundia explains that a merger between Houston Energy Corp. (HUSA), formerly a publicly listed upstream oil and gas company, and Abundia Global Impact Group, a private company offering a technology platform that converts waste plastics and biomass into renewable fuels and chemicals, led to its current structure. Following this transaction, the company adopted the name Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc.
Effective December 8, 2025, the company began trading on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker symbol AGIG. It reports that it previously operated under the name Houston American Energy Corp. and traded under a different ticker. The transition to the AGIG symbol and the Abundia name is described as reflecting a shift in long-term vision and strategic direction toward developing commercially scalable, next-generation low-carbon energy solutions.
Strategic Positioning and Vertical Integration
Abundia’s disclosures emphasize a strategy of vertical integration in the renewables and waste-to-value space. The company describes its approach as building an ecosystem that includes:
- Technology partnerships for plastics and biomass waste-to-fuel processes.
- Infrastructure development at Cedar Port as an innovation center and operational headquarters.
- Market readiness partners and upgrading partners to support the production of commercial-grade low-carbon fuels and chemical products.
Abundia characterizes its leadership team as having experience in management, finance, project development, and operations, and identifies the ability to develop, build, execute, and scale commercial projects as a core competency that supports its vertical integration strategy. The company also references a capital deployment strategy that includes site acquisition, technology licensing, project partners, and capital raises to fund development of its Cedar Port site and related projects.

Industry Context Based on Company Statements
Based on its own descriptions, Abundia operates at the intersection of low-carbon energy, recycling, and renewable fuels. It focuses on transforming waste plastics and biomass into renewable fuels and chemical feedstocks using licensed and commercially proven technologies. The company highlights regulatory tailwinds in Europe and the United States and growing demand for low-carbon energy solutions as part of the rationale for its waste-to-value strategy, as described in its shareholder communications.
Abundia’s stated long-term objective is to develop and scale projects that produce high yield, high quality renewable fuel and chemical products from waste streams, using its technology partnerships, infrastructure at Cedar Port, and additional licensed sites in the United States and Europe.
