Woody Biomass
Extracted from the Black Hills by timber sub-contractor; delivered to our specs at the plant.
Feedstock prep
Woody biomass is chopped, dried, blended for consistency and fed to the gasifier.
gasification
Feedstock is gasified at high temps to produce synthesis gas. The syngas is purified and reformed to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases.
Converting Syngas to Liquid Fuel
Via Fischer–Tropsch chemical reaction processes, the syngas is transformed into a waxy paraffinic liquid fuel.
