Primus Green Energy pilot confirms renewable gasoline production potential

October 12, 2011 |

In New Jersey, Primus Green Energy successfully proved its pilot scale production is capable of producing “drop-in” standard gasoline that achieves 25 percent longer runtime than regular unleaded fuel. During the company’s pilot scale production test its integrated solution of converting biomass to drop-in fuel was in continuous operation. The company plans to build its first commercial facility in Pennsylvania.

The company will leverage the benefits of its partnerships with Jaindl Farms for agricultural land and Eco Therm for biomass feedstock to support Primus’ plans for continued production scale up and operational growth. The commercial facility will have a processing capacity of 40,000 tonnes of biomass per year, thereby generating 3.2 million gallons of high-octane gasoline each year.
