Target Market

Our focus is distributive power generation, based on segmentation variables that target small communities and co-op's requiring five to ten MW generating capacity. These markets represent communities, co-ops, and other power generating facilities such as industrial on site plants. We expect primary acceptance to be heavily based in rural and semi-rural areas. These targets are small enough to use a 5 to 10 megawatt plant as a primary power source, have ready access to inexpensive biomass, and in many cases can receive funding assistance from federal and state green power incentives.

AFuels intends to use biomass conversion to produce our dual fuel. This technology, when used to produce electricity, does so at a cost competitive rate with current electric grid prices. Right now in the United States there are 10GW of biomass energy capacity. Federal RPS mandates are requiring an additional 10GW of bio-energy capacity by 2020. This means AFuels will be participating in a $1.8 billion dollar annual market.
