BlueFire Ethanol Incorporated's (“BlueFire”) use of the Arkenol patented process positions it as the only viable, world-wide cellulose-to-ethanol company with demonstrated production experience with ethanol from wood wastes, urban trash (post-sorted MSW), rice and wheat straws and other agricultural residues.

BlueFire is established to deploy the proven Arkenol Process Technology (“Technology”) for the profitable conversion of cellulosic waste materials to ethanol. BlueFire is the exclusive North America licensee of the Technology for use in the production of ethanol for the transportation fuel market. BlueFire's goal is to develop and operate high-value carbohydrate-based transportation fuel production facilities to provide a viable alternative to fossil fuels on a world-wide basis. These "biorefineries" will convert widely available, inexpensive, organic materials such as agricultural residues, high-content biomass crops, wood residues, and cellulose in municipal solid wastes into ethanol.

BlueFire’s technology is extremely versatile, both in its ability to utilize a wide variety of feedstocks and in the end-products that it can produce. This versatility enables BlueFire to consider a wide variety of feedstocks and locations in which to develop facilities to become the lowest cost producer of ethanol.

With the research and development work completed, patent protections in place, the product markets researched, and several full-scale BioEthanol projects currently in various stages of development, BlueFire is uniquely positioned to become the world leader in the development, ownership and operation of these biorefineries. BlueFire has completed the arrangement of the major commitments necessary to proceed with final development of the First North American Waste to Ethanol Production Facility to be located in California.
