Cool Planet’s biogasoline blendstock is 100% compatible with pump gasoline. Cool Planet has devised a biomass-to-liquids thermochemical conversion process that simultaneously produces liquid fuels and sequesterable biochar useful as a soil amendment. One of the catalytic conversion processes creates the high-octane gasoline blendstock.

Cool Planet Energy Systems, a developer of small-scale bio-refineries for the conversion of non-food biomass into high-octane drop-in biofuels and soil enhancing biochar ( earlier post ), announced the second close of a “D round” equity raise. After closing on more than $29.9 million in June, Cool Planet has added another $19.4
