The First ENVIROLENE® Project
Think of an ENVIROLENE® fuel production facility as a biorefinery powered by your trash and other “carbons.” Cleanly producing lots of market-ready, biodegradable fuel for gas and diesel engines. Profitably. With none of the oily mess.
Using thermal super-heated steam instead of biologic mechanisms, ENVIROLENE production cleanly converts biomass, commercial or municipal solid and liquid wastes, sewer sludge, natural gas, coal and CO2 into a superior, market-ready oxygenate fuel at much lower capital and production cost compared to either Fischer-Tropsch syndiesel or batch-fermented ethanol.
Bioroot Energy seeks to demonstrate this proven GTL fuel synthesis process at pilot scale, and produce initial volumes ENVIROLENE fuel for the transportation fuels marketplace. To achieve this first-production milestone, we will site, construct and operate a first pilot facility within 24 months of funding to demonstrate natural gas conversion to ENVIROLENE fuel production at an undisclosed site in Missoula County. The cost to develop the first project is minimum $10-20 million. A second, larger facility is planned for the same site, producing 2,500-15,000 bpd, which will convert solid wastes and biomass to clean ENVIROLENE (35-212 million gallons per year).
The Potential: Successful commercialization of ENVIROLENE will lead to rapid nationwide development of production facilities operating in a wide variety of industries: waste management, forestry, manufacturing, community economic development, oil refineries, coal-fired power plants, and others.
