KiOR is a small oil and gas company based in Pasadena, Texas. It has developed a proprietary platform that converts non-food biomass into renewable crude oil, described as molecularly identical to conventional crude. This renewable crude can be refined into gasoline and diesel blendstocks that are compatible with the country’s existing transportation fuel infrastructure. KiOR positions domestically produced cellulosic fuels from non-food sources as a near-term path to reducing dependence on foreign oil and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting rural economic benefits. The end users for these products are refiners and fuel-blending facilities that can integrate the renewable crude into current fuel supplies. The company operates with a relatively small team.
