BC Wind

Blue Fuel Energy Corporation is working closely with BC Wind Power Corporation of Sidney, BC to provide Blue Fuel Energy with wind-generated electricity for the production of hydrogen through the electrolysis of water. For more information on BC Wind and the Wind to Fuel Opportunity, please refer to bcwind.com

Blue Fuel engages NORAM Engineering

Having completed preliminary scoping studies, Blue Fuel Energy has engaged NORAM Engineering of Vancouver to conduct the feasibility engineering phase of its project to produce Blue Fuel from renewables, water, and waste carbon dioxide in northeastern British Columbia. Recognized worldwide as a leader in electrochemistry, NORAM is expected to complete its study in August. The study  will enable BlueFuel Energy  to advance project development activities as it will include preliminary design and construction cost estimates. These would then continue to be refined throughout the subsequent detailed engineering phases of the project.

Blue Fuel blending

On April 24, 2009 Blue Fuel Energy Corporation submitted a brief to Natural Resources Canada regarding the blending of Blue Fuel and propane to establish a Canadian market for Blue Fuel. To read the brief, please click here.

Renewables to fuel

Blue Fuel Energy Corporation is planning to use renewable energy, such as wind and hydro, as well as waste carbon dioxide and water, to produce carbon-neutral Blue Fuel™ (dimethyl ether, or DME) in British Columbia, Canada. Blue Fuel™ is an ultra-clean-burning, environmentally benign, alternative fuel that's a substitute for diesel, natural gas, and propane.

Multipurpose

Blue Fuel™ can be produced, distributed, and used for power generation, transportation, and heating and cooking—with existing technologies at attractive prices. A spoke in the clean energy wheel, Blue Fuel™ is a short- and medium-term solution to the issues of climate change, energy security, and air quality.

Energy carrier

Renewable energy abounds in BC, but as in most jurisdictions the capacity of the grid to accommodate more electricity is limited and large-scale grid expansion is environmentally, financially, and socio-politically problematic. Blue Fuel™ is essentially liquid electricity™ and thus mitigates grid expansion issues by doing what the grid does—carry energy from remote locations to load centers.

Stepping stone to the Hydrogen Age

Blue Fuel™ is hydrogen rich and readily reforms into hydrogen. When the reforming of Blue Fuel™ into hydrogen onboard fuel cell vehicles is perfected, Blue Fuel™ will serve as a stepping stone to the Hydrogen Age—and its full potential will be realized.
