Comstock Validates Record Renewable Fuel Yields
Renewable Fuel Conversion Yields
Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) and its subsidiary, Comstock Fuels Corporation, a leader in converting woody biomass into low carbon renewable fuels, announced completion of testing that validates renewable fuel conversion yields of up to 125 gallons per dry ton of woody biomass on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis.
Innovative Fuel Solutions
Comstock Fuels provides advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions that yield market-leading renewable fuels such as ethanol, gasoline, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The processes are robust and scalable, optimized to fractionate various woody biomass species into intermediates for fuel conversion, including Comstock Fuels’ proprietary hydrodeoxygenated Bioleum Oil (HBO), compliant for advanced renewable fuels production under ASTM D1655. Furthermore, Comstock Fuels employs variations of widely-used hydroprocessing and cracking technologies to produce SAF and other advanced renewable fuels under D7566.
Demonstrating Yield Achievements
Yields and carbon intensities can fluctuate based on multiple factors. However, a validated baseline yield of 125 GGE and a carbon intensity of 15 was achieved using a mixture of hardwood feedstock species, without emissions capture.
Corrado De Gasperis, executive chairman and CEO of Comstock, highlighted this milestone as critical for financing and constructing the company's recently announced 50,000 TPY commercial demonstration facility.
Future Prospects for Renewable Fuels
Comstock Fuels is exploring modular integration of established processes to capture and convert biogenic carbon emissions into additional Bioleum-derived fuels, potentially increasing yields to 150 GGE, representing over 80% of the theoretical maximum yield achievable from woody biomass.
De Gasperis noted that these advancements stem from over two decades of research and development, focusing on achieving cost parity with fossil fuels to encourage the decarbonization of global transportation. Plans for finalizing engineering and site selection for the commercial facility are underway.
