Colusa Biomass Energy Corporation (Pink Sheets:CLME), a biomass-to-energy company focusing on bio-fuels for transportation, announced today that an agreement has been reached with BBI Biofuels International of Denver, Colorado. The agreement designates BBI Biofuels International as the designer and developer of a proprietary state-of-the-art biorefinery.
BBI International is a company committed to providing the most thorough feasibility studies in the business. Its team of engineers and market specialists has an intimate understanding of bioenergy and agricultural processing research and analysis, through decades of hands on experience. Ethanol and biodiesel projects are at the core of its workload and expertise. BBI International clients include future producers, existing producers, state and federal agencies, and independent research groups.
“We are thrilled to be working with Colusa Biomass on this exciting project. Our Process Engineering Team is second to none in understanding cellulose-to-ethanol technology and implementing viable solutions in the near term,” says Mark Yancey, Vice President of BBI Project Development. “Together with Colusa we will develop a technology package that will be implemented on a global scale to produce clean, renewable bio-ethanol.”
“This agreement places Colusa Biomass on the leading edge of cellulosic bio-refinery development. This proprietary design will incorporate the most current developments in systems for the refining of ethanol from agricultural harvest residues such as straw and agricultural wastes,” stated Colusa Biomass CEO Tom Bowers. “By using harvest waste, nothing is taken from the food supply. When this production model is implemented in the United States, agricultural residues and wastes will be available for refining ethanol to meet the needs of worldwide transportation.”
