About Clean Fuels
We are well positioned to be a leader in the emerging alternative/clean energy market.
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
Our work in cutting-edge technologies includes a first-of-its-kind, coal-fueled, near-zero emissions electric power plant for the FutureGen Industrial Alliance— a public-private group representing the coal and power industry that is partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy.
The prototype project, estimated in excess of $1 billion, will be the world's first integrated carbon sequestration and hydrogen gas production research power plant. The approximate 275-megawatt Integrated (coal) Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant will use cutting-edge technologies to generate electricity while capturing and permanently storing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, deep underground. The project will convert a variety of coal types to hydrogen gas for power generation and other potential industrial uses.
Biofuels
Our work in bio-fuels is also helping meet the world's growing energy needs while lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Our experience in ethanol projects ranges from grain to corn wet milling, brewing, chemical processing and related industries including engineering and construction assistance for the National Corn to Ethanol Research Pilot Plant at Southern Illinois University as well as engineering, procurement and construction services for companies such as Cargill, Cerestar, Corn Products, National Starch and A.E. Staley.
Under a contract by California Ethanol & Power, LLC (CE&P) we are currently providing initial engineering support for the first of a series of plants in California’s Imperial Valley that will each convert 30,000 acres of sugarcane into 50 million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol per year and produce 30 megawatts of electricity.
Our technological knowledge ranges from acting as owner's engineer, to providing expertise in selecting and licensing, to integrating client-selected technologies to meet our clients' needs.
