Baytown, TX (AHN) - A consortium of pro-green energy companies is producing car and jet fuel out of plant waste from its refinery in Texas using a new high-yielding biofuel making process.
A press statement from the U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (USSE) and Sustainable Power Corp. (SSTP), two members of the Baytown Green Energy Consortium, said Wednesday their process can extract five gallons of crude oil from raw materials equivalent to a bushel of soy beans. The consortium's refinery then converts the biofuel into 93 percent octane, 100 percent bio gasoline, bio-jet fuel, bio-diesel and other biofuel products.
"Our refining process produces zero waste byproducts and zero emissions," the press statement claimed.
The consortium has inked several multi-billion dollar deals with numerous countries, including the Dominican Republic and Malaysia.
The consortium's refinery in Chambers County was shown to the public in February. The refinery has four reactors that can produce from 6,700 to 24,000 gallons of petroleum product and 69 other non-hazardous materials with the waste turned into fertilizer.
