From Field to Forest... Fueling America.

KL Energy specializes in bio-fuels project development, engineering, construction, and plant management with an emphasis on ethanol made from both cellulose and grain.

Our leadership experience ranges from past military leaders to seasoned managers in the ethanol industry. Our process engineering experience is rooted in the petrol-chemical industry. This experience provides unmatched process engineering inherently focused on efficiency.

Today, KL researchers continue to refine patent-pending technology as the first demonstration unit to process waste-wood material comes on line near the Black Hills National Forest. The Upton, Wyoming plant, Western Biomass Energy, began producing cellulosic ethanol in January of 2008 and is the first biomass ethanol plant not using acids or having a full dependency on specialized enzymes to release cellulosic sugars from lignin fibers.
