The Process

Fuel Cubes
Our fuel cubes are a proven, clean-burning, high-BTU fuel alternative for paper mills and other wood- or coal-burning plants. Made from recycled wood, plastics, and other challenging recyclables, they divert materials that would have otherwise been destined for the landfill and produce an alternative fuel that’s better for the environment.

• Sustainable alternative to coal
• Waste is diverted from landfills
• Customers drastically reduce their waste hauling costs and help meet environmental goals or guidelines
• Mills, plants, and kilns get better performance from our high-BTU fuels
• Fewer natural resources are pulled from the environment to create fuel
• Air pollution is minimized with our cleaner-burning alternative fuel

Forward Thinking: Waste-to-Ethanol
Always striving for new solutions and outlets for recyclables, Balcones Resources is working with a technology company to develop a second alternative fuel for the ethanol market. Today, this new process generates fuel that’s ideally suited for cement kilns. Tomorrow, these same waste streams could be converted into higher value, non-food feedstock based, automobile-grade ethanol.
