In California, Fulcrum Bioenergy announced that it has closed a $75 million Series C financing. A portion of the financing will be used to fund the equity capital for the company’s Sierra BioFuels Plant, a commercial-scale production facility designed to convert household garbage to ethanol, renewable electricity and other high value chemical products.
Fulcrum reports they have been working with Fluor on the engineering services for the project and expects to begin construction this summer. Fulcrum expects construction to be completed in late 2012. The $120 million Sierra BioFuels Plant will reportedly convert post-sorted MSW into ethanol, renewable electricity and propanol.
