| Technology Brief |
Our process begins with the gasification of the organic material in the MSW feedstock to a synthesis gas (syngas) which consists primarily of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This syngas is purified and processed through the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process to produce a syncrude product which is then upgraded to jet fuel or diesel.

| Additional Information |
In December 2022, our Sierra BioFuels Plant achieved a significant achievement with the production of synthetic crude oil from landfill waste. This synthetic crude oil is shipped to a Marathon Petroleum refinery where it is immediately converted into clean, transportation fuels. Located outside of Reno, Nevada, Sierra will produce approximately 11 million gallons of renewable, low-carbon transportation fuels each year from approximately 175,000 tons of landfill waste - all while helping reduce the disposal of waste into the local landfill and creating clean energy jobs.
