Fulcrum BioEnergy commissioned the world’s first landfill waste-to-syngas phase and initial operations have started at Sierra biofuels plant. The facility is processing prepared waste feedstock and producing hydrocarbon synthetic gas, or syngas, ready for conventional Fischer-Tropsch fuel production that will take place on site.
The plant, which is located outside of Reno, Nevada, includes both a feedstock processing facility and a biorefinery with the capacity to convert approximately 175,000 tons of prepared landfill waste into approximately 11 million gallons of renewable syncrude annually, which will then be upgraded to renewable transportation fuel.
