RFI - Wood-to-(drop-in) Fuels This Request for Information (RFI) is from an entrepreneurial investor interested in partnering with a qualified technology developer to produce drop-in gasoline and/or diesel from woody biomass in Australia (preferred). The type of partnership between the investor and the technology developer is open for discussion, as is the choice of technology, which may include, for example, gasification-FT/Mobil, catalytic pyrolysis, or hydrothermal liquefaction. The investor would initially provide funds to construct a pilot plant. As the technology matures, the investor would work with the technology partner to scale-up the technology and bring in further investment. The goal of the investor is to supply the woody biomass, and produce and sell drop-in fuels to the local community as the first commercial step; therefore, especially technologies that can be viable on a smaller-scale are attractive. The investor knows that this is a long-term, risky project and is open to working with local universities and government agencies.
Please include a short description of the nature of the partnership that you would be open to, and basic information about the technology in a summary format, including but not limited to: stage of commercial development, generic capital and operating costs, environmental discharges, product (and co-products, such as biochar) yields and quality. Non-disclosure agreements will be signed upon request. If you wish to submit a technology/project for consideration, or have any questions regarding the RFI, please contact Gerald Kutney of Sixth Element Sustainable Management at <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]. Interested parties should respond to this request by May 15th.
