Hunt Global Resources, a unit of Tombstone Technologies, announced that its BioSolutions Division has established a research and development project. For the project, BioSolutions has collaborated with Carbon Green, a company that recycles used tires by converting it into oil, recovered steel, and a substitute for carbon black to be used in tire production.
Conventional biodiesel producers will continue to face challenges in competition and availability for food sources, and fluctuating prices for feedstock, to manufacture B100 biodiesel profitably. BioSolutions Division and its parent company are focusing their resources and technologies on the business of LoNOX Biofuel that is non-food based.
The CEO of Hunt BioSolutions, Gregg Enders, stated that the company has tested the LoNOX industrial biofuel formulation on many cellulosic, blended petroleum and organic feedstocks. The test was performed to obtain a suitable emissions and BTU result. The Hunt LoNOX is a renewable fuel that provides cleaner burning than the existing traditional fuels oils, Enders noted. The company’s aim is to develop a clean burning biofuel that offers a considerable reduction in sulphur oxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions, at a lower cost than the existing non-compliant petroleum products.
After the research and development is completed, the blended biofuel will either meet or exceed the new mandates of US EPA, for marine and industrial diesel emissions. The company will concentrate on marketing the fuel to industrial consumers of heating oil, boiler fuel, marine fuel and stationary diesel.
