ClearFuels Technology, based in Hawaii, has partnered with Hughes Hardwood to build a biorefinery in Collinwood, Tennessee, which will produce diesel, naphtha, and electricity using wood products. The project is projected to break ground in 2011 and open in 2013 or 2014. Once open, it is planned to employ 50 workers.
ClearFuels has plans to develop in other places across the Southeast. By 2015, ClearFuels hopes to have built four more biorefineries in the U.S. in addition to the one being planned for Tennessee.
