HM3 Energy, Inc.
About Us
HM3 Energy was formed in January 2008 first as HM3 Ethanol. We began exploring the use of cellulosic materials to produce cellulosic ethanol from untapped non-food renewable resources as raw material. We first concentrated on sustainably harvested forest waste as a first source of feedstock for ethanol because it is currently being gathered and burned to alleviate the risk of catastrophic forest fires.
In late 2008 we realized that torrefying forest waste, urban wood waste, agricultural residue and other non-food sources of biomass to replace coal would have a much greater impact on reduction on carbon emissions, and thus global warming. We changed our name from HM3 Ethanol to HM3 Energy in 2009.
