USDA provides $91M loan guarantee to Cool Planet for biogasoline blendstock plant; biomass pyrolysis and catalytic conversion

Green Car Congress

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.

USDA to invest up to $100M to boost infrastructure for renewable fuel use; seeks to double number of higher blend ethanol fuel pumps

Green Car Congress

Higher blends of renewable fuel offer potential for increasing the use of renewable fuels in the US gasoline pool, but currently, the typical gas pump can deliver fuel containing a maximum of 10% ethanol. States that are able to provide greater than a one-to-one ratio in funding will receive higher consideration.
