West Biofuels Renewable Clean Fuel

Energy Conversion Focuses on Thermal Methods

The technology uses thermal processing methods to convert biomass into combustible fuel-gases that are used after ash removal for electric power generation and used to make biofuels, including clearn-burning transportation fuels, such as ethanol plus higher alcohols, biogasoline or synthetic diesel fuel (SDF) produced using Fischer-Tropsch type synthesis methods.

Phase I will use 80% of the fuel-gas product for electric power generation. The remaining 20% of the fuel-gas product will be used for researching methods to improve gas reforming, to thus enable economic conversion into liquid fuels, the energy being sourced from biomass feedstocks, including agricultural and urban residues available in Yolo County.
