BlueFire Ethanol Wins Permit to Construct Nation's First Biowaste-to-Ethanol Facility. TradingMarkets.com Press Release, Jul 25, 2008. "BlueFire Ethanol Fuels has been granted a conditional-use permit... for the construction of the first commercial biowaste-to-ethanol facility in the U.S. The Los Angeles County Planning Commission had earlier approved the use permit for operation of the plant on 10 undeveloped acres near Lancaster, California, in the Antelope Valley. BlueFire plans to initiate commercial operation of the plant in late 2009. The new facility will use BlueFire's commercially-ready concentrated acid hydrolysis technology process... [allowing] the profitable conversion of cellulosic waste into as much as 3.2 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year. The company said that this ethanol will be derived from non-foodstock urban, forestry and agricultural residues."
