Aviation · Pleasanton, United States · Founded 2007

Converts household garbage into low-carbon transportation fuels, including jet fuel, diesel and ethanol MoreLess

Fulcrum BioEnergy is a pioneering clean energy company that specializes in the production of renewable transportation fuels derived from landfill waste. This innovative approach positions the company as the first in the world to produce low-carbon fuels from such a source. The company's primary market is the aviation industry, which is under increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions. Fulcrum BioEnergy's fuel offers a solution to this challenge, while also addressing the issue of waste management by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.

The company's business model revolves around the operation of plants that convert landfill waste into sustainable aviation fuel. Their first plant has already started operations and they have plans to establish more than ten additional plants across the U.S. These future plants are expected to significantly increase the company's capacity to produce sustainable aviation fuel and reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional petroleum fuels.

Fulcrum BioEnergy generates revenue through the sale of its low-carbon fuels to aviation companies. They have already secured landfill waste and have fuel offtake agreements in place, which ensures a steady supply of raw materials and a market for their finished products. The company is also exploring international opportunities in countries such as the U.K, Mexico, Australia, South Korea, and Japan, indicating potential for global expansion.
