Fulcrum BioEnergy has broken ground on the second phase of its Sierra BioFuels plant in Nevada, which will turn domestic refuse into airplane biofuel. The company has spent 10 years developing its proprietary thermochemical process, said CEO Jim Macias. “Thermochemistry is a very important part of our business,” he said. By converting waste into low-carbon transportation fuel, Fulcrum provides a real solution to the aviation industry's commitment to reduce carbon emissions. Eventually Fulcrum wants to produce more than 300 million gallons of green jet fuel per year.
