Global Fuels Receives Feasibility Study Grant
by Erin Voegele (Biorefining Magazine) Dexter, Mo.-based Global Fuels LLC recently received a $48,833 grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to explore the technical and economic possibility of producing next generation biofuels. “We are going to use the feasibility study to compare the different technologies that are out there, to implement a new process here at our facility to produce either synthetic drop-in fuels,” said Jason Harris, Global Fuels’ plant manager, noting his company will also be looking into green chemical and green energy production technologies.
Global Fuels currently operates a 3 MMGy biodiesel plant that uses virgin oils and low free fatty acid grease and oil as feedstock. According to Harris, the main goal of the study is to find a technology that Global Fuels can operate sustainably without subsidy.
