The USDA Biorefinery Assistance Program, authorized through the 2008 Farm Bill, promotes the development of new and emerging technologies for the production of fuels that are produced from non-corn kernel starch biomass sources. This project will use acid to break down biomass which can be converted to liquid fuels or energy.

Cobalt uses non-food feedstock, such as forest waste and mill residues, and its technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 85% compared to gasoline. It can be used as a standalone fuel; blended with gasoline, diesel and ethanol; converted into jet fuel or plastics, or sold as is for use in paints and coatings.

From 2007 to 2008, the share of ethanol in global gasoline type fuel use was estimated to increase from 3.78% to 5.46%, and the share of biodiesel in global diesel type fuel use from 0.93% to 1.5%. While this mainly depends on the feedstock and conversion technology, other factors including methodological assumptions also have an impact.

It first gasifies the feedstock to syngas (CO and H 2 ), then uses proprietary microorganisms—licensed from Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma—to convert simultaneously both CO and H 2 into ethanol. Scale up lots of times makes things better—there is more residence time to convert the gas into ethanol.
