The global production of waste is increasing rapidly due to population growth and economic development. Waste can be seen as an opportunity resource, and its viability is accelerating. Some governments and companies are well on their way to capitalizing on this trend.

BlueFire Renewables has operated a pilot facility in Southern California for over 10 years, perfecting the patent applications as well as test and verify various equipment for use in the concentrated acid hydrolysis process. The company is currently completing permitting efforts for the construction of a $1.2 billion, 100 million gallon per year cellulosic ethanol facility in Northern Los Angeles County, S
