Tamarack Energy, Inc.and Mascoma Corporation, announced a joint venture to develop cellulosic ethanol facilities in New York, and in the future, Pennsylvania and New England states.
Under the partnership, Mascoma will contribute its licensed and internally-developed cellulosic conversion technologies; Tamarack Energy will contribute its alternative energy development, permitting, operating, and financing abilities.
“Mascoma has assembled a formidable powerhouse of technical talent that, when integrated with the Tamarack Energy team’s biomass project development, wood procurement, engineering, construction and facility operations experience, strategically positions us to lead the commercialization of ethanol production from cellulosic biomass,” said Tamarack Energy President Derek Amidon. “Given the number of sites across the northeast with access to cellulosic feedstocks, including scrap wood, paper sludge, and other forestry and agricultural biomass, the region is ideal for the renewable energy economic development projects and integrated plants which Tamarack Energy and Mascoma can develop.”
Mascoma President Colin South added, “Mascoma is leading the development of cellulosic ethanol technology for an economically competitive fuel alternative. By working with Tamarack Energy to integrate our cellulosic ethanol plants into their bio-energy parks under development, we can reduce the cost and time required to bring cellulosic ethanol production to deployment and commercialization.”
