Fulcrum BioEnergy
Turning garbage into net-zero carbon jet fuel
Fulcrum BioEnergy is a clean energy company pioneering the creation of renewable, drop-in transportation fuels from landfill waste.
Yes, we’re really turning garbage into jet fuel
We’re launching an entirely new source of clean, domestically produced transportation fuels as the world’s first producer of net-zero carbon, drop-in fuels made from landfill waste. Our fuel will help the aviation industry achieve their carbon reduction goals while simultaneously reducing the waste going into landfills. We've started operations at our first plant - and we have big plans for the future.

Net-zero carbon plants
Making waste to fuels a reality, with much more to come
In May 2022, our Sierra BioFuels Plant – the world’s first commercial-scale household garbage to net-zero carbon fuels plant – started operations by converting waste to a syngas. This was a tremendous achievement for Fulcrum and a first in the renewable fuels industry. And we’re just getting started. We’ve secured the landfill waste and have fuel offtake agreements in place for more than ten future plants across the U.S. And we’re not stopping there. We’re also working on international opportunities in select countries, including the U.K, Mexico, Australia, South Korea and Japan.
Strategic Relationships
We’ve partnered with industry leaders in waste services, aviation, fuel logistics and energy and are backed by leading financial institutions in renewable infrastructure - positioning us for growth
