Blue Biofuels plans new cellulosic ethanol production facility
Blue Biofuels has contracted Global Management Partners (GMP) to create FEL-2 level engineering plans for a production facility that will produce 3 million gallons of biofuel annually. This phase, funded by a Phase 2 grant from the US Department of Energy, is key to ensuring efficient and scalable facility construction. CEO Ben Slager expressed confidence that this project will demonstrate the scalability of their CTS technology and support the transition to sustainable energy.
Blue Biofuels has officially contracted with the engineering firm Global Management Partners (GMP) to produce Front-End Loading (FEL-2) level engineering plans for a production facility capable of producing 3 million gallons of biofuel per year.
These plans will outline the specifics of how the facility will be built and operated.
This planning stage is crucial for ensuring that the production facility can be constructed efficiently and at scale.
The development of the FEL-2 engineering plans will lay out the groundwork for constructing a state-of-the-art production facility, designed to showcase the scalability and efficiency of Blue Biofuels’ CTS technology.
Funding for this project is provided by the US Department of Energy, through a Phase 2 grant awarded to the company earlier this year.
“We are thrilled to begin this crucial phase of our project and to partner with GMP to advance our engineering efforts,” said Ben Slager, CEO of Blue Biofuels.
“With the support of the DOE and our commitment to innovation, we are confident that this production facility will serve as an additional confirmation of the scalability of our technology and helps to propel us into production of cellulosic biofuels to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy future.”
