BlueFire Ethanol is one of six ethanol companies awarded funding
from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its planned ethanol
production facility, which will convert cellulosic wastes diverted
from landfills in Southern California into renewable fuel. The DOE
facility will produce approximately 17 million gallons of
cellulosic ethanol per year from green waste, wood waste, and other
cellulosic urban wastes.
In addition, BlueFire is also in the process of obtaining all
necessary permits to commence construction of a smaller facility
near Lancaster, California. The Lancaster plant will produce 3.1
million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year from the cellulosic
fraction of post-sorted municipal solid waste. By locating
biorefineries directly in the markets with the highest demand for
ethanol, BlueFire Ethanol utilizes its technology to help cities
manage landfill waste -- solving two problems for the price of one.
