The drop-in biofuels plant will yield about 50 million gallons of renewable gasoline per year.

The collaboration follows signing of a front end engineering and licensing agreement between Sundrop Fuels and Uhde Corporation of America, a unit of ThyssenKrupp USA.

The company will install ThyssenKrupp Uhde’s High Temperature Winkler gasification process, coupled with other technologies for gas cleanup, methanol synthesis, and the methanol-to-gasoline conversion.

Within the plant, Sundrop Fuels will demonstrate its proprietary process for biomass conversion incorporating the company’s patented RP Reactor.

Construction on the facility will commence late this year and will have a capacity of about 3,500 barrels of renewable gasoline per day.
