Houston American Energy Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Abundia Global Impact Group, LLC (“AGIG”), are announcing the groundbreaking for Phase One of the Company’s Cedar Port development plan in Baytown, Texas (“Phase One”).
This milestone marks the start of construction on the Abundia Innovation Center (the “Abundia Innovation Center”) and the Research and Development Facility (the “R&D Facility”). Together, these two complementary buildings will anchor HUSA’s vision to scale and commercialize circular-economy and renewable-fuel solutions.
Phase One is being delivered by Corvus Construction Company, Inc. under the previously announced design-build agreement, with Powers Brown Architecture providing architectural services, Dynamic Engineering overseeing geotechnical design, and BNI Engineers leading structural design.
Located within the Cedar Port Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial complexes in North America, the Abundia Innovation Center will serve as a collaborative office and technology hub housing project development, engineering, and business operations. Adjacent to it, the R&D Facility will host advanced laboratories, pilot-scale systems, and analytical infrastructure to validate and optimize next-generation waste-to-fuels and upgrading technologies.
Joseph Gasik, Chief Operating Officer of Houston American Energy Corp., commented: “Breaking ground at Cedar Port marks a transformative new chapter for HUSA. The Innovation Center and R&D Facility will together serve as the centerpiece of our technology and commercialization platform, driving innovation to convert waste into renewable fuels and chemical products.”
Paul McBurney, Project Development and Construction Director for HUSA, added: “This groundbreaking is the result of a collaborative effort among our engineering, development, and construction partners. Corvus Construction and their design team—together with Trans Global Solutions —have been instrumental in shaping a design that balances functionality, sustainability, and scalability. Phase One establishes the physical foundation for our future plant operations and continued innovation at Cedar Port.”
Completion of Phase One is targeted for Q2-2026, paving the way for subsequent phases that will include an advanced plastics recycling facility designed to convert mixed plastic waste into renewable fuels and chemical feedstocks.
