About Range Fuels
Range Fuels is focused on commercially producing low-carbon biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol, and clean renewable power using renewable and sustainable supplies of biomass that cannot be used for food. The company uses an innovative, two-step thermo-chemical process to convert biomass, such as wood chips, switchgrass, corn stover, sugarcane bagasse and olive pits to clean renewable power and cellulosic biofuels. The first step converts the biomass to synthesis gas or syngas. In this step excess energy is recovered and used to generate clean renewable power. The second step converts the syngas to low carbon biofuels. The leadership team melds experience from the technologically intensive oil, chemical, petrochemical, coal gasification, power, gas-to-liquids, renewable fuels, and the pulp and paper industries. Range Fuels' vision is to introduce the world to solutions to the pressing global problems of energy, the environment, and the economy by providing low carbon biofuels and clean power that are renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly.
