Waste To Fuels

Company Overview


What We Do

Convert Waste into High Performance Green Diesel

• We produce a biomass based renewable clean diesel with the exact characteristics of ASTM Spec D975 #1 Diesel

• We contract with garbage haulers who pay us a market rate tipping fee to take their garbage

• We sell our product to heavy vehicle fleet owners

• Newest “Next Generation” Technology – We have a proprietary production process and a business model that is economically, ecologically and socially sustainable


Production Starts With Waste Processing#1 Haulers dump their garbage in our indoor facility

#2 We shred the garbage into small pieces

#3 We then separate out metals and other materials and lower the moisture content

The processed waste is then fed onto our fuel production process


Fuel Production Overview

#1 Using indirect heat and pressure we reduce processed waste into “Syngas” and ash

#2 We then clean the syngas, compress it and pass it over a catalyst converting ½ into Fischer-Tropsch diesel and wax. The remainder is used as energy to sustain the process

#3 Using our excess hydrogen we upgrade FT wax and inedible fats into additional renewable clean diesel fuel


Economic Driver

Relative Product Value($/MMBTU of Product Energy)

Process Conversion Efficiency(% Feedstock Energy Converted to Product)

Relative Return on Resource Energy ($/MMBTU of MSW Processed)


Ecological Driver

• 80% reduction in green house gas emissions

• Modest water usage and air emissions

• Our process can significantly reduce landfill usage and resulting release of methane

• New private sector initiatives are critical to expanding and sustaining the MSW processing technology needed to reduce the use of landfills


Social Driver• Energy Independence

• Stable local employment base

• Increased revenue flow to community

• Using private risk capital to achieve community benefits

• Green Jobs


Community Benefits

• Green Jobs Created

• Immediate (engineering, design, permitting) 2009: 40+

• Construction (as early as 9/2010):250

• Operation (as early as 2012 - mostly “head of household”): 90


Balanced Sustainability AnalysisEconomic• Produce a high demand product from responsible feedstock

• Our product requires no operating subsidy or mandates for use

• Create green jobs, reduce oil imports, re-circulate dollars in U.S. economy

Ecological• 80% reduction in green house gas emissions

• Significantly reduced landfill usage and methane release from landfills

• Modest water use and air emissions

Social• Improved independence from foreign oil

• Head of household jobs that cannot be exported

• Economic stimulus to local area
