We're using America's natural gas to create ultra-clean, hybrid natural gas-cellulosic green gasoline from the biomass waste stream. Biofuel has long been viewed as a potential solution to our energy problems. That's why Chesapeake Energy Corporation is investing aggressively in the incredible promise of a biomass-based fuel that gives new life to a renewable American resource – biomass waste.
In a $155 million partnership with Sundrop Fuels, Inc., we're developing an affordable transportation fuel that is fully compatible with today's engines and fueling infrastructure.
Sundrop Fuels has pioneered a proprietary technology that turns virtually any waste cellulosic material into ready fuel for America. The process uses our own abundant natural gas supply as both a feedstock and furnace fuel for creating the ultrahigh boiler temperatures required to gasify the material and complete the process. The result is a shelf-stable, ready replacement for the costly gasoline and diesel derived from foreign oil.
At the core of the company's intellectual property is its Sundrop Fuels RP Reactor, a high-efficiency radiant particle technology that is more than 20 times faster than conventional convection heat transfer methods. The combination of Sundrop's technology with the efficient heating and hydrogen enrichment properties of natural gas will provide the foundation for massive scale bio-refineries that will dramatically reduce both the nation's dependence on foreign oil and the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.
It's ultra clean. It's scalable. It's American. This low-cost hybrid natural gas-cellulosic green gasoline is another way we're working to lead the country to energy freedom.
