Transportation fuels must achieve net-zero emissions to meet climate goals. Net-zero fuels must be produced from cellulosic (non-food) biomass. Conventional, scaled-up biorefineries, however, are failing to meet federal targets for cellulosic biofuels. WeNeW will overcome the conventional barriers to cellulosic biofuels with small, modular biorefineries.
WeNeW biorefineries will soon be synthesizing clean, sustainable diesel than can outcompete the costs of conventional diesel produced from petroleum. Fuel quality will not be sacrificed to make this net-zero biofuel. Neat (drop-in) synthetic fuels can have such a high quality that they are often blended with regular fossil fuels and marketed as a premium fuel in Europe. This means you don’t have to change how you fuel your vehicle, your vehicle, the costs of fueling your vehicle, or how you drive your vehicle to drive with zero-net greenhouse gas emissions. This also means the vehicle you already have can be used with less lifecycle emissions and hassles than switching to battery electric vehicles.
Would you like to have your fuel locally produced in your own county? WeNeW’s patent pending approach to sustainably harvesting crop residues means your county can produce much more bioenergy than reports are presently revealing. Contact us to learn if your county can be a net producer of transportation fuel.
WeNeW is here to help enable a hydrogen-based energy economy. A key challenge for hydrogen is that the infrastructure and market for hydrogen are in their infancy. WeNeW is therefore developing the modular biorefinery that can either produce pure hydrogen or turn that hydrogen into synthetic diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, methanol, ammonia, or other H2-based products. WeNeW’s biorefineries can be adapted or expanded to make the products demanded by future markets. This approach can enable 10’s of million tons per year of hydrogen (H2) production capacity throughout the US on our partner farms by co-developing the supply and demand for hydrogen within each WeNeW biorefinery. We believe this is the most technically and economically effective, yet de-risked approach to developing distributed Hydrogen Hubs.
