EcoTech Fuels plans to put the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota on the high performance racing map. ETF will be manufacturing a superior 138-plus octane racing fuel, TorqazineRF, at the Red Shirt Table landfill site.

“If Torqazine performs as expected, it is better suited for the race industry than any other alcohol fuels currently being used,” said performance fuel expert Andy Wicks of DynoTune USA.
The project, approved in an MOU signed by the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council, will help the Tribe solve its waste management problems, for which it paid $63,000 in fines in 2009.

The $69 million plant will take approximately 22 months to design, build and put into operation.

According to company president, Linda-Rose Myers, Pine Ridge Racing Fuels will convert 100 tons per day of regional trash, plastics and tires into approximately 320 barrels per day of advanced synfuels. “We see this plant as a great opportunity for economic development in the one of the poorest rural areas in America,” said Myers. “In addition to the 40 jobs created by the racing fuels plant, we will establish a small business incubator to support the development of spin-off industries.”

    The idea is a Win, Win innovation that will reduce the size of land fills and make money at the same time.

    Garbage -> Fuel. What’s not to love. This is an idea that should go viral.

    EcoTech Fuels sounds like the answer to our garbage and energy problems. This is amazing and should be persued by our government. President Obama has pledged his support to find alternative energy sources. This could be part of the answer!

    What a good way to decrease the size of our landfills, and make money at the same time. I agree, this idea should get national attention!

    I have done extensive research in this area and have yet to find anything as innovative as to what is being offered by EcoTech — Brilliant idea. It should receive international attention because it can solve all problems relating to solid wastes being recycled into high-powered racing fuel — Extremely brilliant concept engineered into a reality.

    Sounds good to me. I like it.

    love this idea also. imagine what it would be like to have a clean America. i do not understand why we don’t take advantage of this, it is a win, win situation. I’m ready for it.

    All that glitters is not gold! The initial investment in a project like this with unproven technology is risky. Waste volumes and haul distances will be it’s demise if Pine Ridge is the chosen location. This is just another black hole into which our federal government pours money.

    Our engineers have been converting biomass and carbonaceous substances — including waste materials — into clean synfuels for over 30 years.

    All the manufacturing processes used by EcoTech Fuels have been proven over several decades of use in the field.
