Comstock Fuels and Emerging Fuels Technology advance SAF and other renewable fuel yields

In Nevada, Comstock announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Comstock IP Holdings, has executed a Technology Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with Oklahoma-based Emerging Fuels Technology (EFT). 

Under this agreement, Comstock and EFT will enter into a Master License Agreement, supported by ongoing EFT technical development, to integrate EFT’s gas-to-liquids process into Comstock’s renewable fuel solutions. The integrated system will be able to capture and convert carbon emissions into “emissions derived renewable fuels” (“EDF”) that further extends Comstock’s renewable fuel yields, including SAF. All commercialization of existing and future Comstock Fuels Corporation’s renewable fuel technologies, including those developed through this partnership, will be managed exclusively by Comstock Fuels Corporation. 

Comstock Fuels delivers advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions that produce yields of SAF, renewable diesel, cellulosic ethanol, and other renewable fuels at extremely low carbon intensities. Comstock’s process involves: solvolytic digestion and fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass,  bioconversion of cellulose into Cellulosic Ethanol,  esterification of lignin and other derivatives into Bioleum Oil, hydrodeoxygenation of Bioleum Oil into Hydrodeoxygenated Bioleum Oil (HBO), and refining of the resulting intermediates into ASTM compliant fuels. 

The firm noted that these processes can produce up to 125 gallons of renewable fuel per dry metric ton of feedstock depending on feedstock, lignin content, site conditions, and other process parameters, with extremely low carbon intensity scores of 15 or even less.
