Comstock Fuels Joins BDO Zone Strategic Partners Network

, Comstock Fuels to Accelerate Sustainable Fuels Development in BDO Zones ,

January 28th, 2025 , Ecostrat and the BDO Zone Initiative are pleased to announce that Comstock Fuels has joined the BDO Zone Strategic Partners Network. BDO Zone Strategic Partners are leading companies in the bioenergy sector that help accelerate and de-risk biobased project development in BDO Zones.

“Comstock Fuels’ expertise and innovative technologies are positioned to unlock a substantial amount of carbon-neutral, lignocellulosic feedstock production, representing a natural and strong addition to the BDO Zone Strategic Partners Network,” stated Jordan Solomon, Chairman of the BDO Zone Initiative. “This partnership will materially increase the speed and development of advanced biofuel projects and aligns with our mission to accelerate sustainable, low-carbon initiatives within BDO Zones.”

“Ecostrat’s BDO Zone Initiative has systematised and revolutionized how we identify, validate and enable prime locations for biomass projects,” said David Winsness, President of Comstock Fuels. “By integrating Comstock as a strategic partner for these pre-vetted regions, we’re eliminating critical barriers to site selection, project development and accelerating our commercial operations.”

About Comstock Fuels

Comstock Fuels Corporation (“Comstock Fuels”) delivers advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions that set industry benchmarks for production of cellulosic ethanol, gasoline, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), and other renewable Bioleum™ fuels, with extremely low carbon intensity scores of 15 and market-leading yields of up to 140 gallons per dry metric ton of feedstock (on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis, or “GGE”), depending on feedstock, site conditions, and other process parameters. Comstock Fuels additionally holds the exclusive rights to intellectual properties developed by Hexas Biomass Inc. (“Hexas”) for production of purpose grown energy crops in liquid fuels applications with proven yields exceeding 25 to 30 dry metric tons per acre per year. The combination of Comstock Fuels’ high yield Bioleum refining platform and Hexas’ high yield energy crops allows for the production of enough feedstock to produce upwards of 100 barrels of fuel per acre per year, effectively transforming marginal agricultural lands with regenerative practices into perpetual “drop-in sedimentary oilfields” with the potential to dramatically boost regional energy security and rural economies.

Comstock Fuels plans to contribute to domestic energy dominance by directly building, owning, and operating a network of Bioleum Refineries in the U.S. to produce about 200 million barrels of renewable fuel per year by 2035, starting with its planned first 400,000 barrel per year commercial demonstration facility in Oklahoma. Comstock Fuels also licenses its advanced feedstock and refining solutions to third parties for additional production in the U.S. and global markets, including several recently announced and other pending projects.

About The BDO Zone Initiative

The BDO Zone Initiative certifies regional readiness for bio-based manufacturing, creates global connections with project developers, and ignites an influx of clean energy opportunities.

A BDO Zone rating is an internationally recognized standards-based technical risk assessment of biomass feedstock, supply chain, and infrastructure risk with respect to the development potential of new biofuel, renewable chemical, biogas, and bioproduct plants. Investment grade ratings attract new bio-based manufacturing plants to the areas where they are most likely to succeed, and create jobs.

For more information on the BDO Zone Initiative, contact info@bdozone.org. To view all BDO Zone ratings, visit www.bdozone.org. Check out the BDO Zone LinkedIn page for news and updates.

Ecostrat is the North American leader in biomass due diligence for biofuels, renewable chemicals, biogas, and bio-product project development and finance. Jordan Solomon is Chairman of the BDO Zone Initiative and President of Ecostrat (www.ecostrat.com). He can be reached at jordan.solomon@ecostrat.com.
