Biorefineries, BIOFINE Inc.

BIOFINE’s proprietary and patented technologies biobased products offer a pathway for biobased products to penetrate mainstream fuels, chemicals, and electricity markets in an economical and environmentally beneficial manner. Target markets for "biorefinery" products may be up to $2 trillion annually.

ANTARES was commissioned by BIOFINE to assess some of the remaining issues which will impact the larger-scale deployment of BIOFINE technologies and suggest action items for addressing them. ANTARES examined general market trends and technical/regulatory issues. ANTARES focused on specific market opportunities for biofuels such as the transportation market (gasoline blending stock), home heating oil market, power market (combustion turbines), and chemicals market (pesticides). The results of the study suggested that several key markets for LA derivative products exist within the chemical industry. Additionally, properly structured incentives within the renewable energy markets may also provide scale benefits to the biorefinery concept.
