The initial part of the Soperton Wooded area operations employs Size Fuels' garden-fresh, two-step thermo-chemical process, which uses steam, encouragement, and boil to convert non-food biomass, such as woody biomass and grasses in vogue a synthesis gas restful of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The syngas is as a result approved washed up a proprietary catalyst to motif varied alcohols that are on bad terms and processed to give back a nature of low-carbon biofuels, in the midst of cellulosic ethanol and methanol.
The cellulosic methanol produced from Epoch 1 essence be recycled to motif biodiesel, conclusively displacing diesel oil in transportation fuel markets. It may also be recycled to displace diesel in heating applications, recycled as a fuel supplement in gasoline-powered motor vehicles, or recycled to power fuel cells. Size Fuels diplomacy to begin production of cellulosic ethanol from the scatter in the third borough this go out with. The cellulosic ethanol essence formulate ASTM ideals for fuel-grade ethanol and essence be recycled to displace fuel in strong and native transportation fuel markets.
"We are triumphant to be producing cellulosic methanol from our Soperton Wooded area, and are on pursue to begin production of cellulosic ethanol in the third borough of this go out with," hypothetical David Aldous, Size Fuels' Be in first place and CEO. "This radical is a lofty progress in overcoming the precise and financing challenges previous to the commercialization of cellulosic biofuels and positions us kindly totally to develop production of cellulosic biofuels. And, amid the initial U.S. commercial production of cellulosic biofuels from non-food biomass, Size Fuels has dominated a lofty progress in delivering on its icon of pacifier solutions to the abrupt international challenges of energy eccentricity, the situation, and the economy."
The Soperton Wooded area essence in the beginning use woody biomass from easily reached go into operations, but diplomacy to explanation amid other types of renewable biomass as feedstock for the variation process, in the midst of herbaceous feedstocks akin miscanthus and switchgrass. Size Fuels diplomacy to develop the aptitude of the scatter to 60 million gallons of cellulosic biofuels annually amid framework to begin entrance summer. The Soperton Wooded area is permissible to motif 100 million gallons of ethanol and methanol both go out with.
