LQM Advanced Biofuel Commercialization Strategy
Improving Biofuel Gallons per Acre Yield
Improving Biofuel Gallons per Acre Yield
Zero Carbon Footprint
The future role of biofuels depends on profitability and new technologies. LQM cannot agree more which is why the >advanced biofuel commercialization strategy is structured as a phased approach to mitigate risks (technical, market and strategic business process).
The future of biofuels is defined by incremental efficiency gains ultimately measured in gallons of biofuels per acre. LQM’s vision is to increase its efficiency gains incrementally by adopting locally grown sustainable feedstocks which provide biofuel efficiency gains while maintaining a hi-protein co-product for its host feed operations. By accepting feedstocks with an existing market, feedstock supply risk is mitigated. As technological advances occur, LQM will integrate the technologies into its existing infrastructure and supply-chain markets.
Since the future of biofuels will depend deeply on profitability, LQM has a strategy in place to manage all the interrelated factors. The role of biofuels in global fuel supplies is likely to remain modest because of its land intensity. That is why LQM is interested in cellulosic biofuels and ultimately algae since the yield per acre has promise to drastically reduce the land intensity if properly managed.
