Johnson Matthey, UK, has announced that their technology has enabled Fulcrum’s Sierra BioFuels Plant to successfully produce synthetic crude oil for clean transportation fuels.
Using Johnson Matthey (JM) and BP’s FT CANS technology, the Sierra plant is the world’s first commercial-scale plant to use household rubbish as a feedstock that would otherwise be destined for landfill. The plant will produce synthetic crude oil, which is expected to ultimately be refined to approximately 11 million gallons of renewable, low-carbon transportation fuels each year from approximately 175,000 tons of landfill waste. JM and bp signed their first license with waste-to-fuels developer Fulcrum to use their award-winning FT CANS technology in 2018.
