Monroe1, I have wondered that from the day I first read of their Pilot Plant trials run in Japan using their Arkenol cellulosic ethanol process.
I really feel this is a better process, than other plants using enzymes to separate the sucrose from cellulosic raw materials, most of which are really struggling with their profitability! There is a real need for the BFRE concentrated acid(Arkenol) process to be evaluated on a full-scale production plant for making ethanol. Perhaps, with the strengthening US economy and rising energy prices, including ethanol, more interest by banks or gasoline producers will lead to investing in Bluefire?
