Under the agreement, CMT will supply BlueFire’s Fulton ethanol facility with all of the feedstock required to produce approximately 19 million gallons of ethanol per year.
CMT will locally source cellulosic materials such as wood chips, forest residual chips, pre-commercial thinnings and urban wood waste such as construction waste, storm debris, land clearing; or manufactured wood waste from furniture manufacturing to provide feedstock for the plant.
CMT executive vice president Phil Willingham said that the company looks forward to utilizing its experience in biomass feedstock procurement and logistics in establishing a sustainable biomass feedstock supply chain for BlueFire’s Fulton project.
