| Technology Brief |
This will be the first Fulcrum plant outside the United States and will use Fulcrum’s proven waste-to-fuel process, which is already being deployed at its pioneering facility outside of Reno (Nevada), where operations are due to begin later this year. Fulcrum has an extensive, global development program underway including the 33 Mgal/year Centerpoint biorefinery in Gary (Indiana, USA), and a similar sized project in the United States Gulf Coast region where the company is finalizing site selection.
By using SAF derived from residual domestic household and commercial waste, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced significantly on a lifecycle basis when compared to fuels produced from conventional crude oil. Such emission reductions are approximately 70% and have the future potential to be fully carbon neutral. In addition, SAF produced at the site offers a 90% reduction in particulates, which may benefit local air quality in and around airports.
