Cool Planet Energy Systems
announced a major breakthrough in the
commercialization and affordability of biofuels
from non-food biomass
that can run in any vehicle on the road today.

Cool Planet Energy Systems is the only company
projected to produce high octane gasoline at
the cost of US $ 1.5 per gallon,
without the need for government subsidies,
which actually removes carbon from the atmosphere
during the course of production.
About Cool Planet's Technology :
Transportatble Micro-refinery
- Cool Planet's proprietary two-step thermal processing
technology takes non-food biomass such as
* wood chips
* agricultural waste like corn stover,
* or energy crops including miscanthus and switch grass
and converts it into hydrocarbons
- A catalytic conversion is then utilized to complete
the production.
- The end result is high-octane gasoline
that is fully compatible with today's standard automobiles
and existing conventional fuel distribution system.
- Unlike many other biofuel companies, Cool Planet's
carbon negative gasoline is price competitive
because of the ingenuity behind innovation.
- By mass producing mobile, prefabricated
micro-refineries that are easily transportable to
the biomass source, Cool Planet can significantly
reduce costs of feedstock transportation,
which maximize overall capital efficiency.
- Each Micro-refinery
* is one hundred time smaller than
a typical oil refinery and
* can produce 10 million gallons of fuel per year,
putting Cool Planet running to compete with
oil at US $ 50 a barrel
without any government mandates or subsidies.
- A byproduct of producing biofuel is activated carbon or
biochar which can be used as a soil enhancer
increasing land fertility while isolating the carbon capture
from the atmosphere.
- This comprehensive carbon negative process results in
up to a 150 % carbon footprint reduction,
far more than any other biomass-to-fuel method.
