Meet RenFuel

Comstock Fuels works with downstream partner #technologies in our research and development efforts when they present unique-to-the-market process enhancements that can potentially increase #commercial options to produce different types of #netzero and below zero #transportationfuels to meet specific customer needs.

Every leading fuel producing company in the world has a different #fuel mix in their portfolio and a unique set of solution goals based on their hydrocarbon fuel production and #refining #infrastructures.

This existing transportation fuel infrastructure produces more than 200 billion gallons annually in the U.S.

#Lowcarbon fuel producers today seek alternative non-food #woodybiomass feedstocks that are #reliable, proven, and #cost-effective processing #pathways to convert that feedstock and deliver #hydrocarbons suitable for #hydrotreating as a replacement to #petroleum. This is the overarching “path” to #decarbonizing transportation fuels.

The aggressive #climategoal now championed by policy leaders and industry alike is to #decarbonize all of #transportation by 2050 in the United States and achieve at least an 85% reduction in greenhouse gasses (#GHG) from transportation fuels, which requires optimizing the most cost-effective, #efficient, and #sustainable forms of feedstock and processing pathways within the existing fuels infrastructure.

Transportation will be dependent upon liquid fuels for some time to come, and potentially forever as below zero options advance that are even “cleaner” than electrification because they consume more atmospheric carbon than they produce.

Comstock Fuels works to shift entire industries from the use of fossil fuels to profitable net zero or below zero alternative sources, and that calls for demonstrating new, innovative pathways through research and development.

A "pathway" typically refers to the series of steps or processes used to convert a raw material or feedstock into a final product, in this case, a fuel.

Comstock’s proposed grant “Production of Renewable Diesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Gasoline, and Marine Fuel from Lignocellulosic Biomass at Dramatically Improved Yield, Efficiency, and Cost “ from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) DE-FOA-0002638, FY22 Scale-Up of Integrated Biorefineries and Greenhouse Gas Reduction in First Generation Ethanol Production (Scale-Up+) funding application is testing the RenFuel process as one potential pathway that could accelerate the commercialization of #Bioleum(tm) derived Sustainable Aviation Fuels (#SAF).

RenFuel is a Swedish innovation company in #bioenergy with dedicated researchers, employees, and owners who, with a solid knowledge of the #forest industry and green chemistry, are driven by the idea of replacing finite fossil fuels with sustainable #bio-gasoline and #biodiesel.

RenFuel is a spin-off from a research group at Uppsala University with cutting edge technology in pharmaceutical manufacturing and biotechnology with knowledge of green chemistry and biomass from the forest industry. RenFuel has a patented, leading #catalytic process that energy-efficiently transforms #lignin from by-products in the forest industry into #renewable lignin oil.

Our thanks to the RenFuel team – Igor Lishajko, Tove Sandstrom, Timofey Liseev, Ph.D., Marcus Jawerth, Ph.D., and Christian Dahlstrand PH.D. - for their specialization in forest materials, for their collaboration on this project, and for their commitment to advancing solutions to help accelerate decarbonizing transportation fuels to achieve a more balanced world.
