“This agreement validates SucreSource’s business model of selling its cellulosic sugars and, as in this case, sugar producing process to synergistic back end proprietary chemical companies to produce high value products,” said Arnold Klann President & CEO. “As a major petroleum producer, GS Caltex is a perfect partner with which to initiate the business build out. Korea, like the U.S., China, and several other nations, is moving away from food-based sugars to produce high-end products such as biobutanol, ethanol, ethyl levulinate and various other chemicals. SucreSource is a first mover in this space and has the proven technology to meet this increasing cellulosic sugar demand head-on. This facility will be the first of many to be built.”

The facility will process 2 tons of construction and demolition debris per day into cellulosic sugar, which will be converted into a high value chemical by GS Caltex’s proprietary technology. The facility will be owned and operated by GS Caltex with SucreSource providing the process design package, equipment procurement and technical and engineering support. Once the initial facility is validated, SucreSource will work with GS Caltex to develop and build larger commercial scale facilities in Korea and throughout the world.

“Both parties agree that this is the first step towards commercial deployment of cellulosic chemicals in South Korea and, potentially, their trading partners” said John Cuzens, CTO for BlueFire Renewables.

SucreSource and GS Caltex have already commenced work on the project. SucreSource is actively pursuing other partnership opportunities and hopes to announce more relationships soon.

First, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a joyous Chanukah and Christmas season and a very Happy New Year. It is this time of year when we reflect on what this year has brought, the things lost and the things gained. The relationships forged through the fire of trials and the people we lost along the way.

We lost a great man, friend and visionary this year from the BlueFire family, Bill Davis. He was a man’s man and was crusty when needed, tender and caring when no one was looking. He joined BlueFire as it was being created in 2006 and lead the efforts with Necy Sumait to secure the DOE Grant and the Lancaster project. Later he was critical to the development of the EPC Contract with MasTec to build the project in Mississippi. We were blessed to know Bill and send out to his family the love of Jesus and the appreciation for sharing him with us.

Management this year focused on the need to grow the company in a never-ending changing business environment. The formation of a wholly owned subsidiary coupled with exciting new partnerships has made 2011 a pivotal year for BlueFire Renewables. This year-end review is to provide you with an update on our progress.

In early 2011 the company signed a purchase agreement, commonly referred to as an equity line for public companies, for up to $10 million with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), a Chicago-based institutional investor. This money allowed BlueFire to fulfill short-term cash needs and continue to pursue financing opportunities on our projects.

To that end, in Q4 2011, with assistance from the National Center for Sustainable Development, (NCSD), BlueFire entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with China Huadian Engineering Co. LTD to invest equity and debt into the integrated Power Plant and Biorefinery in Fulton, MS. Under the MOU, Huadian has agreed to invest equity by purchasing an interest in the BlueFire Fulton Renewable Energy LLC and, optionally, debt for the Fulton project to complete financing and construction for this cellulosic ethanol facility.

Additionally, upon the initial success of the Fulton Project, the agreement intends for Huadian to invest equity and/or provide debt for the development of five (5) additional plants in the United States. The MOU also contemplates the formation of a Development Joint Venture to develop similar projects in China.

NCSD is aligned with the China CDM Fund under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance of China and has, since 2009, worked closely with counterparts in the Chinese government and industry. Recognized by both NCSD and the CDM to be a tangible and immediate example of the cooperation between the US and China on low carbon economic development, the BlueFire concept has been introduced by NCSD to various other entities in China and it appears that BlueFire will play a continuing role as potential technology supplier to both U.S. and China. NCSD is going to play a continuing critical role as BlueFire and SucreSource play an ever-expanding role in the Advanced Biofuels space.

To meet increasing demand for cellulosic sugars (“The New Oil”) BlueFire formed SucreSource, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary that will manufacture cellulosic sugars from biomass for Biofuel, Bioplastic and Specialty Chemical markets. Established in November 2011, SucreSource will utilize BlueFire’s proven and patented high yield process of economically unlocking cellulosic sugars from biomass to produce multiple sugar streams for these growing markets. SucreSource will capitalize on our existing process design packages, providing either a 34,000 tons per year or 163,000 tons per year source of cellulosic sugars. SucreSource is actively pursuing partnerships opportunities to deploy the technology in a wide range of industries.

With support from the County of Itawamba and the City of Fulton and excellent work done by Century Construction, BlueFire also completed initial site-preparation on the company’s Fulton, MS cellulosic ethanol plant. Construction for the Fulton project is expected to create about 700 jobs and will commence upon securing final financing for the complete project. Once completed, the Fulton project will utilize the region’s green and wood wastes as feedstock for the production of approximately 19 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol sold under long-term contract to help fulfill the demand under the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard established under the Energy Independence & Security Act.

We were also pleased to announce that Joe Sparano has joined the Company’s Board of Directors. As former President and, subsequently, Executive Advisor to the Chairman of the Board of the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), as well as former president of Tesoro Petroleum’s West Coast Regional Business Unit, Sparano is a much-welcomed addition to the BlueFire Renewables board.

Our progress in 2011 further established that BlueFire is more than just an ethanol company. The continued expansion of our capabilities demonstrates our spirit for innovation and development of cleaner alternatives to Fossil fuels in the United States and across the globe.

We look forward to an even more exciting 2012 as BlueFire closes the financing for the Fulton project and embarks on its first plant with SucreSource. The coming year will be attacked with the vigor that it requires to be successful, dominant and sustaining in the years to come by the dedicated people of BlueFire and the partnerships we have forged. Keep us all in your prayers for that is the true strength and success of this company, invested to change the world! —–Arnie Klann

Under the MOU, Huadian will invest equity by purchasing an interest in the BlueFire Fulton Renewable Energy LLC and, optionally, debt for the Fulton project to complete financing and construction for this cellulosic ethanol facility.  Additionally, upon the initial success of the Fulton Project, the agreement intends for Huadian to invest equity and/or provide debt for the development of five (5) additional plants in the United States. The MOU also contemplates the formation of a Development Joint Venture to develop similar projects in China.

“This agreement provides the foundation to finance the Fulton facility and a significant number of additional plants in the US and in China and will enable BlueFire Renewables to create much needed jobs — starting with about 700 jobs for the construction of the Fulton plant ” said Arnold Klann President & CEO.

China Huadian Engineering Co LTD is one of China’s largest utilities, generating more than 75,000 MW of power in China. Its parent company China Huadian Corporation has over $51 billion in total assets.

“Having such a strong partner, both technically and financially backing up BlueFire, is a significant advancement in bringing BlueFire’s business plan to fruition,” added Klann.

Huadian Engineering Co. Ltd.’s collaboration with BlueFire Renewables, Inc. is, in part, a result of the introduction and low carbon development program launched jointly in late 2009 between the National Center for Sustainable Development in Washington, DC and the CDM Fund (supervised by the Ministry of Finance) in Beijing, China.

“The goal of the joint program is to identify important emerging practical technologies with significant potential for broad deployment in China, bring these technologies to commercial scale in the US and apply lessons learned in meeting the energy and low carbon development needs of China, the United States and globally,” said Mitchell Stanley, President of NCSD. “Cellulosic ethanol manufactured from biomass and not from food crops is mandatory for China, and BlueFire offers a scalable efficient approach to producing numerous valuable industrial chemicals from domestic sources rather than from imported petroleum.”

Once the Memorandum of Understanding terms are finalized in a Definitive Agreement, BlueFire will move toward financial closing allowing the company to accelerate and complete construction of its first commercial cellulosic ethanol facility in Fulton Mississippi. First phase of construction began in December of 2010, and was completed in June, 2011 with the remaining construction dependent on final financing for the complete project. The Fulton project utilizes green and wood wastes available in the region as feedstock for the production of approximately 19 million gallons per year of cellulosic ethanol sold under long-term contract to help fulfill the demand under the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard established under the Energy Independence & Security Act.

Century Construction has completed clearing and grubbing; placed the geo-grid and fabric across the site; brought the site to grade level, and installed drainage structures prior to the completion of final rough grading.  Grass and mulch were applied to establish the necessary growth for erosion control until plant construction begins.

 “With support from the County of Itawamba and the City of Fulton and excellent work done by Century Construction, the Fulton site is ready for facility construction,” said Arnold Klann, CEO of BlueFire Renewables, Inc. “We are happy to be working with the County and City to bring renewable fuel production into reality and, in the process, create local jobs. We are currently working on multiple pathways for financing including a pending loan guarantee application with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).”

“Itawamba County is very pleased to join BlueFire Renewables in the effort to alleviate our dependence on foreign fuels, preserve our environment and spur our economy. BlueFire’s first phase of construction has already created 52 jobs in Fulton and, as BlueFire moves into its next phase of construction, will create numerous more,” said Greg Deakle, Itawamba County Executive Director.

With this phase of construction completed, BlueFire is poised to build its first commercial facility utilizing green and wood wastes available in the region as feedstock for the production of approximately 19 million gallons of ethanol per year to help fulfill the demand under the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard established under the Energy Independence & Security Act.

First, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year.

2010 has been an exciting year. This year end review is to provide you with an update on our progress and perspective to position BlueFire as a successful, sustainable and dynamic cellulose-to-biofuels company..

BlueFire rebranded itself as BlueFire Renewables, Inc. in order to more clearly illustrate the company’s vast capabilities in renewable energy. Through its internally-designed and third-party–developed back-end technologies, BlueFire can produce a vast array of other Biofuels, including Biodiesel, BioJet Fuel, and other Drop-in Direct fuels..  BlueFire’s technology proved this in the mid 1990′s when it was used to demonstrate production of diesel additives and volumetric extenders that dramatically reduce particulate and other emissions from diesel and other heavy oil products. BlueFire intends to take advantage of all the available, viable products that were tested and deploy them in the marketplace once the first plant is under construction and the markets mature. As such, the name change and rebranding as a renewable energy company more clearly represents the many applications for which BlueFire’s technology can be applied.

BlueFire concentrated the bulk of its resources on developing the Fulton, MS project. We completed permitting for the project in November allowing for ground breaking in the same month. BlueFire initiated clearing, rough grading and drainage improvements on the site of the future plant. With this work, BlueFire Renewables, in conjunction with Itawamba County and the City of Fulton, has created construction jobs from Recovery Act funds received from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Program.

BlueFire was able to secure the 3 major contracts required to finance the Fulton facility. The first contract was the 15-year feedstock supply contract with Cooper Marine Timberlands. Offtake was secured with a 15-year contract with Tenaska Biofuels LLC, guaranteeing a buyer for all the cellulosic ethanol produced. Finally, a lump sum, turnkey construction contract was signed with Mastec, Inc.. All 3 companies are credit worthy companies which will help in the financing of the project.

BlueFire improved its cash position by raising capital in December when it sold a 1% membership interest in its Fulton Project, with an assessed value of $1.061MM, for a 25% discounted purchase price of $750,000.  This transaction sets a foundation for the Company to build on for raising the additional equity to construct the facility at the project level. The Company maintains a 99% ownership interest in the Fulton Project.

BlueFire will combine equity raised at the project level with one of the loan guarantees it expects to secure, from either the US Department of Agriculture or the US Department of Energy, allowing for further development and construction of the Fulton Project. The loan guarantees are moving forward and BlueFire is hopeful to have more clarity on their status shortly.

It has been a long journey to get to this point in a very challenging financial market.  We have invested the seed capital and tried to de-risk the project to a point where it becomes more attractive for project financing with the expectation that selling down interest in a more matured project will preserve the value of the development asset and allow the Company to pursue multiple project opportunities at the same time.

BlueFire is more than just an ethanol company.  We’re happy to announce the expansion of our capabilities, and feel that our new name captures our spirit for innovation and development of cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels. 2011 is poised to be a pivotal year for BlueFire as we pursue additional opportunities in renewable energy while working feverishly to build our first commercial cellulosic ethanol plant.

New Earth Capital Research Report

BlueFire has obtained its final air, wastewater, and storm water permits from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) to start construction. Other permits issued related to the Project include a wetlands permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a Certificate of Permit Coverage under Mississippi’s storm water general permit from the MDEQ. On June 4, 2010, a Final Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact (Finding) was issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

“The favorable findings and conclusions of the permits issued are reflective of BlueFire’s approach to design, develop, construct and operate domestic fuel production facilities that meet or exceed applicable regulations with no significant impacts to the environment,” said Arnold Klann, CEO of BlueFire Renewables, Inc. “Also embedded in the permits are conditions to protect worker and public health and safety.” added Mr. Klann.

The Fulton Project will be constructed within an industrial park where infrastructure exists or requires only minimum upgrades to serve the project.

The project site, controlled under a long term lease with Itawamba County, has access to rail, interstate highways and barge for maximum flexibility in receiving materials and shipping products. With issuance of the required permits, the County jointly with the City of Fulton, has commenced work on the initial activities of clearing, rough grading and drainage improvements under a contract with Century Construction, a Mississippi based contractor. The work by Century is expected to take about 120 days.

“We are excited to see jobs being created and economic development contribution starting to accrue to the State of Mississippi,” said Mr. Klann. “Once erection of plant and equipment commences, the jobs employed at the site will peak at about 700 under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with Mastec, Inc.” The Fulton project will allow BlueFire to utilize green and wood wastes available in the region as feedstock for the ethanol plant that is designed to produce approximately 19 million gallons of ethanol per year.

The contract is negotiated in a manner to be appealing for non-recourse project bank financing and, more importantly, serves as the final key project contract agreement to move forward with both the DOE and USDA Loan Guarantee Programs.

“Having recently announced off-take and feedstock agreements for our Fulton, Mississippi plant, BlueFire Renewables has now satisfied all stated requirements to move forward on an agreement with either the DOE or USDA for a loan guarantee to complete financing of the project,” stated Arnold Klann, CEO of BlueFire Renewables, Inc. “BlueFire now stands poised to finalize the government negotiations and affect the financing and construction of this commercial-sized cellulosic ethanol plant.”

“We are excited about our involvement in the Fulton project with BlueFire Renewables and look forward to a long-term relationship. BlueFire’s proprietary technologies, which convert non-food cellulosic waste into fuel, should bring environmentally friendly facilities and increased long-term employment to the State of Mississippi. We are glad to be a part of the initial roll-out and we look forward to working with BlueFire on a number of other opportunities,” noted Jose Mas, MasTec, Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer.

This contract is a home run for BlueFire and for the industry. What MasTec and BlueFire have created and achieved with this contract sets the framework for many other BlueFire projects to be built with certainty.

The Fulton, MS project will allow BlueFire to utilize green and wood wastes available in the region as feedstock for the ethanol plant that is designed to produce approximately 19-million gallons of ethanol per year.
