I would LOVE to see the Chinese Government pick up where our DOE dropped the ball, and actually GRANT Bluefire the remaining $30m. That should ease the debt payments Bluefire will need to pay from Fulton revenues, and possibly speed up the building of additional plants in the US( by Bluefire), while China Three Gorges begins their massive plant planning to help with their environmental concerns, as well as providing ethanol for gasoline blending, or whatever purposes they are planning.
Other products besides ethanol are possible from the Bluefire process, since the initial product is sucrose(sugar), and different chemicals can be produced from sucrose by changing the down-stream parts of the process. Bluefire formed a sucrose-only LLC a few years ago, to provide technology for only producing sucrose (SucreSource, LLC), which leaves the user the option of producing themselves whatever end-product they can obtain from sucrose by their own technology.
