Comstock files for patent to produce renewable fuels

Comstock Inc. has filed for a new patent covering breakthrough pathways to produce renewable diesel, marine, sustainable aviation fuel and gasoline from woody biomass.

The company has announced a significant expansion of its leading cellulosic technology portfolio, as this dramatically improves yield, efficiency, and cost in comparison to all known methods.

Comstock’s plans to decarbonize with renewable fuels involves abundant feedstocks that are not used today, enabling a vast untapped energy source with superior benefits. 

These technology advancements enable a new sustainable feedstock capable of neutralizing a substantial share of current US mobility emissions.

Based on current performance data, Comstock projects best-in-class renewable fuel yields exceeding 80 gallons per dry ton (on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis), with lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions reductions well exceeding 80% over petroleum.
