Blue Marble Energy is currently executing an important expansion towards a broader focus.  This growth in focus represents a significant improvement in company economics, and allows us to tap a far broader range of waste biomass feedstock for our operations.

We will be partnering with governments, farmers, brewers, and industries to utilize their organic waste biomass.  This will solve issues of waste for our partners, while simultaneously providing BME with a ready source of feedstock.  Production will focus on high-grade, high-value biomaterials (specifically biochemicals).  The market has clearly shown that inherently low-margin commodities like energy and biofuels are economically unsustainable as single products.   However, when created within a portfolio of co-products, such as BME’s biomaterials, energy and biofuels can remain viable at various levels of scale.

BME’s biomaterials represent a significant step towards replacing petroleum-based resources across the industrial supply chain.  Virtually everything we touch and consume is derived from oil such as plastics, flavorings, fragrance, solvents, fabrics, and other key components of industrial manufacturing.   With our new focus on biomaterials, including esters, amides and anhydrous ammonia, BME will help to replace all of these unsustainable components with fully renewable alternatives.  An important factor in the commercial viability of these biomaterials is that they will not require costly industrial changes.  BME will be producing drop-in replacements able to interface directly with existing manufacturing infrastructure and production practices.

There is no quick fix to our petroleum dependency, and there will be no “silver bullet” solution.  It will take a broad spectrum of solutions, technologies and cultural adjustments working together to move past this addiction.  Blue Marble Energy is honored to be at the forefront of this shift.
