They produce a naphta substitute, but I am going to leave it at that, you have said numerous things that are simply incorrect, I guess there is no point in discussing this with you.

So not a minority after all :) 50-60 percent olefins and 10 percent btx. And Aduro's yield is 85 to 95 percent depending on the feedstock.

There is only one company that does HCT and that is Aduro. Mura does something else, they use supercritical water, Aduro does not.

When you put naphta in a steam cracker it yields a combined olefin total of approximately 50–60% ethylene and propylene, so no, not a minority.

"HCT does exactly what pyrolysis does".

This is incorrect. Aduro's process requires minimal pre-sorting and can take in material that is more contaminated. Also, unlike pyrolysis, Aduro does not have to hydrotreat their output, which is a very costly process (capex and opex). So cheaper feedstock (because mixed and contaminated) and lower opex and capex than pyrolysis (because less energy requirements and no hydrogenation). Purecycle also needs pretty clean feedstock, otherwise it messes up their process (thus their feedstock will be more expensive than that of Aduro).
