Making gasoline from the sun (Denver)
A Louisville, Colorado, company says it has perfected a solar-energy technology capable of producing 100 million gallons of synthetic gasoline annually from corn stalks and wood chips.
Sundrop Fuels Inc., which has constructed a 60-foot tower rising above a nearly 3,000-mirror solar array in Broomfield, Colorado, already has proven it can generate synthetic gas using the sun’s heat.
Now company officials want to raise between $100 million and $150 million to build the world’s first solar-powered biorefinery. That demonstration project could make 7 million to 8 million gallons of gas a year.
