Bluefire Renewables, Inc. (fka BFRE)

HUH? The only significant thing now is whether or not Bluefire will be able to obtain the remaining pieces of their financing structure, in order to go ahead with the building of the Fulton plant!

With China having apparently decided to go ahead with waste-consuming cellulosic ethanol( and other chemicals, as needed and available from sucrose), it is very likely, IMHO, that the remaining financing will now also come from somewhere in China, now that the DOE is out of the picture.

The Chinese may need to see an efficient-running full-size plant at Fulton, before they engage in multiple plant construction, even though the Isuzi experience in Japan pretty well established the viability of the concentrated (strong) acid hydrolysis cellulosic ethanol process.
