State Representative Jim Struzzi is touting a Conemaugh Township development that has great potential in the energy sector using re-purposed waste coal and acid mine drainage. A pilot site operated by Firepoint Energy, Incorporated will utilize “plasma gasification” technology to turn waste coal into clean synthetic jet fuel.

Firepoint Energy was once again featured in The Indiana Gazette as its executives hosted public officials and outlined plans for the development of the Tunnelton pilot site.

@SC74303347 The most reliable method of contacting us directly is to send an email to [email protected], or to call 582-855-6033. Those forms of contact go directly to representatives of Firepoint Energy.
For the sake of clarity and accuracy, Firepoint Energy Inc. issues the following amended retraction regarding statements previously made through its official accounts, or other communications channels concerning Reformed Energy Inc. and the plasma gasifiers produced by that company:
Firepoint Energy CEO Bill Smith was previously a contractor of Reformed Energy. However, neither he nor Firepoint Energy holds or retains any ownership rights to intellectual property, proprietary technology, or any other assets owned or managed by Reformed Energy, including its plasma gasifiers.
Any prior use by Firepoint Energy of images owned by Reformed Energy was unauthorized and done without the explicit permission of Reformed Energy.
Reformed Energy has filed a patent for a 50-ton-per-day plasma gasifier, and to the best of Firepoint Energy’s knowledge, Reformed Energy does not possess any expired patents related to plasma gasifiers.
Firepoint Energy is not involved in the manufacturing of Reformed Energy’s gasifiers — specifically the L50 gasifier — and acknowledges that any future use by Firepoint Energy of Reformed Energy’s plasma gasifiers would be contingent upon a formal purchase agreement with Reformed Energy.
Firepoint Energy regrets any misunderstanding resulting from prior communications and appreciates the opportunity to clarify this matter.

CEO CFO: What are some of the challenges in getting this off the ground?
Mr. Smith: One challenge has been getting on the same page with the Department of Environmental Protection here in Pennsylvania. We have already dealt with the House, the Senate, and the Governor’s office because we know going into an industry like this, we want the policymakers to know what we are doing. The second thing is it costs a lot of money to get started. This small site we are building in Central Pennsylvania is $267 million. There is another pile a few hundred feet away of 15 million tons of waste coal and to build that site will cost at least $400 million.
The expenditure it takes to purchase the equipment is very high. In the petroleum industry, they already have the equipment, since petroleum production is an established and ongoing process. We have to build this equipment from scratch, and we do that down in Texas and Louisiana. We truck it to Pennsylvania, assemble it, and start producing fuels and energy. The process of getting started is one of the hindrances to this industry.

Another excerpt from CEO CFO Magazine Interview with Bill Smith
CEO CFO: Are there any types of environmental challenges or things to be aware of when you are doing the
processing?
Mr. Smith: Not really, because the rock processing is no different than mining stone for gravel. The biggest question people ask us is “What do you do with the carbon dioxide?” I tell them to Google CO2+H2, and they will find out that we can convert carbon dioxide into methane and make fuel out of it. As weird as this may sound, our emissions are fuel.
If we vented it into the environment, we would be releasing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and hydrogen into the atmosphere. If we run those through a GE turbine, we are producing electricity, and we will have cleaner emissions than if we run on natural gas by running that same gas through a gas-to liquids plant. This is proven 1920s-1940s technology, and we convert that gas into cleaner-burning jet fuel and petroleum
jet fuel.
“To summarize, our process cleans up waste coal piles, produces energy from them in the form of jet
fuel, and extracts rare earth elements and other valuable minerals in a way that is highly profitable and
cost-effective.” Billy Ray Smith
Our emissions are clean fuel, and that can be tough for a lot of people to wrap their heads around, but it’s 100% percent true.
