Cobalt’s technology converts non-food feedstock, such as forest waste and mill residues, into biobutanol Cobalt’s continuous butanol production system is based on advancements in microbial strain selection, bioreactor design and process engineering, resulting in a highly productive, capital-efficient, low-cost solution. This engineering foundation ensures the production process is able to scale up quickly while maintaining capital efficiency.  Cobalt’s technology reduces lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% versus the production of gasoline. Cobalt biobutanol is versatile and can be sold as is for use in paints, coatings and other chemical products; blended with gasoline, diesel and ethanol; or converted into bio-based plastics or full performance jet fuel and diesel. Engineered to achieve low costs through high productivity, energy efficiency and the use of low-cost feedstock, Cobalt is making biobutanol and its derivatives a cost effective substitute to petroleum-based materials.

Under the agreement between Cobalt Technologies and Fluor Corporation, Fluor will provide engineering consulting services as Cobalt gears up to commercialize its biobutanol production technology. Additionally, Fluor will offer a broad range of EPCM services for Cobalt’s demonstration and commercial-scale butanol production plants.

The company recently demonstrated the conversion of beetle-killed lodgepole pine into a low-carbon, sustainable biofuel and chemical, which is currently being tested in engines by Colorado State University’s renowned Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory.

“We have examined many different biofuels technologies, and are choosing to work with those companies that we believe have the greatest potential to be commercialized economically and to make a major impact on achievement of the nation’s alternative fuels goals,” said John Hopkins, group executive of business development at Fluor.  “We believe Cobalt’s technology has great potential and are looking forward to helping them scale up rapidly.”

  2. Only want to say your article is as tonishing. The clarity in your post is simply impressive and i can take for granted you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your rss feed to keep up to date with future post. Thanks a million and please keep up the effective work.

  3. Thanks for the several tips discussed on this web site. I have realized that many insurance firms offer consumers generous reductions if they prefer to insure many cars together. A significant variety of households possess several cars these days, specifically those with more aged teenage young children still residing at home, as well as savings in policies might soon mount up. So it pays off to look for a great deal.

  4. This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  5. Hi friends, how is all, and what you want to say on the topic off this article, in my view its really remarkable for me.

  6. You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and found most individuals will go along with with your website.
