Fluor designs and constructs renewable fuel and biofuel facilities, both chemical-route and biological-route plants.
These client facilities produce a range of renewable fuels and first- and second-generation biofuels, such as biodiesel, renewable diesel, bioethanol and biojet fuel. They use numerous renewable feedstocks, such as fats, oils, algae and cellulosic biomass.
Fluor's renewable-fuel related technologies experience includes hydrotreating, transesterification, Fischer-Tropsch (FT), methanol-to-gasoline (MTG), gasification, cellulose hydrolysis, fermentation, and biomass handling and pretreatment (hydrolysis).
