by Helena Tavares Kennedy (Biofuels Digest) Emerging Fuels Technology (EFT) was founded in late 2007 to address the need to reduce flaring worldwide by creating small Gas to Liquids (GTL) plants in the 500 to 5,000 BPD range. They needed to be highly cost effective, modular and able to operate in remote environments with little or no supporting utilities. We soon recognized the potential for applying our expertise in Fischer Tropsch synthesis to the production of fuels and chemicals from other carbonaceous materials. In 2008 we began working on biomass to liquids projects, many funded by the DOE. We have since developed a technology platform that allows us to work with biomass, municipal solid waste (MSW), biogases and CO2 to liquids (efuels) projects.

EFT licenses technology for the conversion of synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) from any source (biomass, MSW, biogas, CO2) into transportation fuels, primarily diesel and jet, and chemicals to fit the client’s requirements. Our patented Biogas to liquid (BioGTL) and Methane Mitigation FlareBuster technologies are at the crux of what we do.
Our BioGTL plant is designed to produce Drop-In compatible transportation fuels, diesel, jet and naphtha (gasoline blend stock), from renewable biogas. The plant is designed for remote, unmanned operation at landfills, agricultural bio-digesters and wastewater treatment facilities that produce renewable biogas. The result is a significantly more cost effective, smaller, and more efficient plant.
FlareBuster is a new approach to gas to liquids targeted primarily at methane mitigation or flaring worldwide. The design is covered by several new patents that result in a significant reduction in capex per barrel of daily capacity.
