“Agricultural and animal waste are viable biomass sources, and the process developed by CWT is environmentally benign and carbon-neutral.”
U.S. Senator, Arkansas
“We must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil and look towards alternative sources of energy…Specifically, my initiatives would encourage production of biodiesel, manufacture of energy efficient home appliances, and the use of fuels produced from animal and agricultural wastes and landfill gas.”
Director, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Energy Lab
“This is the great hope—to be the biorefinery of the future. Taking in biomass of all sorts and putting out a whole range of valuable products is obviously exciting.”
Former Sr. Vice President, ConAgra Foods, Inc.
“We now know that the technology is sound and the science really works. The front end of the plant is producing organic liquors and free fatty acids…”
Former Director, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
“From the point of view of pollution and the point of view of energy production, this is a remarkable story, but it also has long range promise for helping solve one of our major world problems, namely global warming, because greenhouse gas emissions can be less, as a result of the fact that much less petroleum needs to be dug up from beneath the ground ...We are going for many, many years, the rest of us, to be highly dependent upon this extremely volatile part of the world [the Middle East] for an increasing share of what we need to run our transportation system and much of the rest of our economy. This technology offers a beginning of a way away from this ... This technology offers all of us an opportunity someday to have a more peaceful and a freer world, a world that is not dependent on turbulence and chaos.”

“We will explore investment opportunities in renewable and/or cleaner burning alternative fuels such as renewable diesel, ethanol and biomass.”
U.S. Senator, Illinois
“As Congress looks to expand domestic gasoline supply, a far stronger signal should be sent that the U.S. Government is serious about growing our 40 billion gallons-a-year domestic diesel industry. That's why today I am introducing legislation to create a Renewable Diesel Standard, with the goal of 2 billion gallons annually of alternative and renewable diesels by 2015… This initiative would not in any way dent the oil industry's record-shattering profits. It is, however, a bold initiative for those entrepreneurs who know that new diesels work and are willing to prove it by investing on a commercial scale. They know we can make diesel from soybeans, from sunflower seeds, from coal, and even from garbage. Let’s give them stronger assurance that the United States intends to capitalize on their vision, ingenuity and expertise in the cause of energy independence.”
