Company BlueFire Renewables, Inc. Other OTC

BlueFire Renewables, Inc. is engaged in developing, owning and operating carbohydrate-based transportation fuel plants, or bio-refineries, to produce ethanol, and to provide professional services to bio-refineries. The Company's bio-refineries convert organic materials, such as agricultural residues, high-content biomass crops, wood residues and cellulose from municipal solid wastes into ethanol. Its Arkenol Technology's use ranges from producing beverage alcohol and fuel-ethanol to making citric acid and xantham gum for food uses. The process separates the biomass into two main constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose (the main building blocks of plant life), and lignin (the glue that holds the building blocks together), converts the cellulose and hemicellulose to sugars, ferments them and purifies the fermentation liquids into ethanol and other end-products. It is in the development-stage of building bio-refineries in North America.
