Blue Biofuels, Inc. hired Travis Baughman, Ph.D., to lead the development of biodegradable bioplastics and nanocellulose from their patented CTS technology system. Previously, Dr. Baughman has worked for DSM in their Engineering Plastics division as their lead Application Development Engineer in Cupertino, CA, and Global Business Process Manager for Research and Technology in Geleen, the Netherlands. Prior to that, Dr. Baughman worked in DSM’s Materials Sciences Research and Development division as Project Leader and Senior Scientist working on polymerization chemistry. Dr Baughman has numerous patents and publication to his name in the subject of polymer science.
Blue Biofuels, Inc. is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in the renewable energy, biofuels, and bioplastics sectors. The Company has developed a technology system it calls Cellulose-to-Sugar (CTS). The CTS is a mechanical/chemical dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry. The CTS system converts plant-based feedstock into one primary product, soluble sugars, which can be further processed into cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels like jet fuel, and potentially into bio chemicals. CTS is a sustainable and renewable green energy system with the potential to achieve a near-zero carbon footprint. The CTS process can convert virtually any plant material grasses, forestry products, and agricultural waste, such as sugarcane bagasse and wheat straw into sugars and lignin may be further processed into a variety of products. Sugars are subsequently processed into biofuels, such as ethanol and sustainable aviation fuel.
