The plant will be constructed by Fiberight, LLC, based in Blairstown, Iowa. Fiberight’s Targeted Fuel Extraction (TFE) process recognizes that sold waste is neither homogeneous nor fully convertible to energy. Fiberight’s system bifurcates organic and inorganic wastes and converts them according to type.

The first plants start commercial production of advanced biofuels this year. With our new product, Cellic CTec3, and the first plants starting commercial production, this is a huge step forward in the transition from an oil-based economy to a bio-based economy. Both plants will convert municipal solid waste into biofuel.
