BlueFire Ethanol gets DOE reimbursement, continued ...
The plant was originally set to be constructed in California, but BlueFire was given the OK to relocate the site to the Mississippi location by the DOE in October. Klann cited California's current business climate and the time-sensitive development and licensing process among the reasons for the move.
The new plant will use the firm's Concentrated Acid Hydrolysis Technology Process to convert cellulosic waste into the alternative ethanol product. Green and wood wastes from the surrounding area will be employed throughout the system. The facility will be designed to produce 18 million gallons of ethanol a year.
The Fulton facility is the second planned biorefinery for BlueFire: The firm has completed a 20-month licensing agreement for its shovel-ready ethanol plant in Lancaster. This plant will use post-sorted cellulosic wastes from Southern California landfills to produce nearly 4 million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol a year.
BlueFire Ethanol is among four firms awarded funding from the DOE to construct ethanol production facilities.
