Fulcrum Bioenergy

Fulcrum Bioenergy converts household garbage into low-carbon transportation fuels, including jet fuel, diesel, and ethanol. The company aims to create a clean, low-cost, and sustainable source of domestic transportation fuel. Their approach relies on an abundant and renewable feedstock: municipal solid waste. Using a proven thermochemical process to convert municipal solid waste into ethanol, Fulcrum is leading the next generation of ethanol production. In 2007, E. James Macias and Jim McDermott established the company in Pleasanton, California.
