Powerful water-soluble biofuel from any solid, liquid or gaseous feedstock
“Our greatest challenge in these unusual times is breaking our addiction to foreign oil. If we get this right, we will be the greatest generation. If we get this wrong, we will send our kids to another war.”
Brian Schweitzer, Governor, State of Montana

Ready for biodegradable, water-soluble biofuel, synthesized from solid, liquid or gaseous carbon feedstocks using industry-proven tech, without incineration or fermentation?
Based on formulas developed by Standard Alcohol Company of America, Inc., E4™ ENVIROLENE® is a cleaner*, more powerful mixed alcohol fuel, made with very low process emissions, from all types of carbon feedstocks. E4 ENVIROLENEis water-soluble, biodegradable fuel made from municipal solid and liquid wastes, non-crop biomass, and abundant fossil carbons (such as coal, petroleum coke, natural gas, flare gas and methane).
*Offering better mileage and performance than ethanol, E4 ENVIROLENEis EPA-approved in all 50 states for blending into gas or diesel fuels.
Balancing Energy, Economic and Environmental Values
Sure, recycling cardboard and aluminum is a good thing. But how much of what we throw away each day actually gets recycled? More to the point, how much of America’s municipal solid waste (household and hazardous waste, construction debris and industrial waste) and woody biomass from our private lands, national forests and even our backyards could be profitably and responsibly converted to a sustainable stream of cleaner mixed alcohol fuels?
The answer is, potentially, most of it. Made possible by generating a powerful new fuel to add to America’s fuel supply, creating jobs, new businesses and returns for investors. Which is why we believe there’s a great business opportunity here.
Turn any solid and liquid wastes, biomass, and gaseous feedstocks into water-soluble, biodegradable mixed alcohol fuel. It’s a responsible, profitable way to manage municipal waste streams and utilize abundant regional biomass resources, create valuable liquid transportation fuel products, protect the natural environment—and greatly increase business activity in your community or region.
America’s trash, and non-crop biomass including woody biomass, trash, garbage, hazardous waste, coal, petroleum coke, and even sewer sludge, can now be safely and profitably converted into mixed alcohol fuel that blends seamlessly with today’s petroleum products and distribution infrastructure: clean, powerful, higher mixed alcohol biofuel synthesized in a closed-loop process from any carbon feedstock.
It’s a combination of two proven technologies: Plasma Gasification and Gas to Liquid (GTL) fuel synthesis, which is in essence a methanol plant. Feed a plasma gasifier anything considered trash or waste (solid, liquid or gas) and you get “CO H2 syngas” to catalyze abundant, clean (water soluble and biodegradable) higher mixed alcohol out the gas to liquids (GTL) back end, a liquid mixed alcohol fuel synthesized with near zero emissions, and the small amount of solids (slag) left from the gasification process can be sold as abrasives, road fill, or turned into bricks.

E4 ENVIROLENE is produced via solids and liquid feedstocks gasification and gas to liquid fuel (GTL) synthesis, or gaseous feedstocks via steam reformation GTL.
Developed by Standard Alcohol Company of America, Inc., E4™ ENVIROLENE® is a higher mixed alcohol which is synthetically produced. It is a patented formula encompassing 8 or 10 alcohols: C1 methanol, C2 ethanol, C3 n-propanol, C4 n-butanol, C5 n-pentanol, C6 n-hexanol, C7 n-heptanol, C8 n-octanol, C9 n-nananol and C10 n-decanol (n=normal, straight chained molecule).
There are many different biofuels. Explore how each biofuel is made, what each is made from, and importantly, what happens when each is spilled in water or on land.
"To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth—all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances."
