Fulcrum BioEnergy completes $20 million investment with SK Innovation
Fulcrum BioEnergy Inc., a clean energy company pioneering the creation of renewable, drop-in transportation fuels from landfill waste, announced that it has completed a $20 million equity investment in Fulcrum by SK Innovation, the energy arm of South Korea's SK Group. In addition, Fulcrum and SK Innovation will work together to enter into an exclusive licensing agreement providing the opportunity to explore the possibilities of bringing Fulcrum's patented and proprietary waste-to-fuel process to South Korea and select countries in Asia.
SK Innovation, which contributes to South Korea's energy security and economic development, operates South Korea's largest refinery as well as petrochemical, e-mobility battery and information electronic materials businesses. This is the second investment that SK Group has made in Fulcrum, following its participation in a $50 million equity round in December 2021 by SK Inc.
This expanded partnership and investment comes on the heels of the company completing the commissioning and initial operations of its inaugural biorefinery, the Sierra BioFuels Plant located east of Reno, Nevada. In May, the company demonstrated its ability to transform landfill waste feedstock into a syngas, laying the groundwork for Fulcrum to move on to the final step in its waste to fuels process, converting the syngas into liquid fuel.
Beyond Sierra, Fulcrum has also announced plans for additional plants as it seeks to scale up its production and address critical and urgent environmental issues — the reduction of carbon emissions from the aviation industry, of garbage sent to landfills and of the nation's dependence on foreign oil.
