Los Angeles, California : Taleveras and Global Green Development announced the creation of a Joint Venture company that will be focused on developing and building a biofuel refinery in the United States of America.
The Joint venture, Global Green Energy will research and develop technology for production of low carbon biofuels. The targeted fuels will be for military operational use and the aviation industry. The goal of this project by Global Green Energy is to increase the domestic advanced biofuels production capacity by establishing complete domestic value chains capable of producing drop-in replacement biofuels. This includes feedstock production and logistics, conversion facilities (Integrated Biorefineries), fuel blending (if required), transportation, and Logistics. The Proposed IBPE (Integrated Biofuel Production Enterprise) will be able to establish a capacity to produce at least 10 million gallons of neat Biofuel per year under its initial pilot program in Claiborne County, Mississippi.
Additionally, the Biofuel project envisioned in this joint venture is expected to include a capability to blend the neat biofuel product with petroleum-based equivalent fuels in order to meet approved certifications and specifications. The capabilities and/or facilities to store and transport the resulting product will also be a critical part of the IBPE project.
The project will be in different phases, and will also involve the establishment of farming cooperatives in Africa to grow the energy feedstock (Jatropha). The Jatropha will be refined in Africa in modular refineries located near the production sites/farms and the produced biofuel will be sent to United States to be blended in the biofuel refinery.
