Advanced BioFuels

Headquartered in Chicago, IL, Advanced Biofuels is a privately held company focused on development and commercialization of next-generation production platforms for alternative fuels produced from domestic renewable sources. Having completed an initial round of funding, the company is focused on commercial scale-up of a proprietary, continuous process for production of butanol at commercial yield using an advanced approach to Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation. The process is currently being optimized at a proprietary facility in Champaign, Urbana under the guidance of a technical/ scientific team comprised of international leaders in anaerobic metabolism and solvent production. The Company plans to exploit the process through both dedicated and “bolt-on” commercial facilities, and discussions are underway with numerous candidate industrial collaborators.
