VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc.

The ABLC brings together industry, technology, and policy leaders at the forefront of the circular bioeconomy, including in the advanced and renewable biofuels, sustainable aviation, and materials sectors, spotlighting applied technologies that accelerate best-in-class commercialization opportunities and breakthrough product development. Mr. Winsness, who was recognized for his leadership contributions to the bioeconomy’s development and project deployment and named to The 2023 Bioeconomy 500 by Biofuels Digest in February, will receive his award at the ABLC and present at the Sustainable Futures Summit on Wednesday, March 22nd at 1:45 p.m. (EDT).

Enabling Net Zero Mobility

Renewable fuels provide a critical enabler for decarbonization, however, most of the existing U.S. renewable fuel refineries draw from the same limited pool of limited feedstocks. Comstock’s technologies resolve that constraint by unlocking abundant unused woody biomass feedstocks that leverage the Earth’s natural carbon cycle and create extraordinary financial incentives.

Extremely High Yields

Comstock’s patented processing technology efficiently pulps and separates wood into two biointermediates that can be converted into carbon neutral transportation fuels at extremely high yields. The first biointermediate is a cellulosic C6 sugar that can be used by existing corn ethanol or other fermentation facilities to produce more than 80 gallons of advanced cellulosic ethanol or 45 gallons of sustainable aviation fuel per tonne of woody biomass. The second biointermediate is a unique blend of hydrocarbons called Bioleum™ that can be hydrotreated into more than an additional 50 gallons of renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and gasoline per tonne of the same biomass.

Mr. Winsness said, “Comstock’s breakthrough cellulosic technology enables our licensees to lead in fuel production efficiency and output, with best-in-class yields now approaching 100 gallons of fuel per tonne of the same biomass, easily exceeding all known alternatives for processing woody biomass and contributing to net zero mobility.”

Comstock’s cellulosic fuels technologies are available for licensing to qualified early adopter partners. Additional information is available at www.comstockfuels.com.
