OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. (NYSE American: LODE) today announced that its subsidiary, Comstock Fuels Corporation (the “Company”), a leader in advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions, has established its corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Comstock Fuels' new headquarters will be located in Northwest Oklahoma City, providing a central hub for its expanding operations. “We're excited to establish our headquarters and rapidly expand our presence in Oklahoma, a state with a strong pedigree for energy and a wealth of resources for supporting our industry,” said David Winsness, President of Comstock Fuels. “This accelerates our growth and supports domestic energy dominance as we begin to build a network of Bioleum Refineries across the U.S., starting right here in Oklahoma.”
The relocation was incentivized by a $3 million grant award, from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce's Quick Action Closing Fund, which supports economic development and infrastructure projects throughout the state. This initiative is anticipated to generate new employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth within Oklahoma's energy sector as Comstock Fuels builds its first planned 75,000 metric ton per year (“MTPY”) commercial demonstration facility in Oklahoma, where it will produce cellulosic ethanol, gasoline, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), and other renewable fuels with Comstock’s proprietary biomass refining solutions.
"We're thrilled to welcome Comstock Fuels to Oklahoma and congratulate them on their success," said Evan Brown, Executive Director of EDGE. “Oklahoma’s rich history of energy innovation and business-friendly environment makes our state the perfect choice for this type of investment.”
Comstock Fuels is currently assessing multiple, qualified locations in Oklahoma for the construction of its initial commercial demonstration facility, that once secured, triggers the second of the three $1 million grant payments.
Comstock Fuels delivers advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions that set industry benchmarks for production of cellulosic ethanol, gasoline, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), and other renewable fuels, with extremely low carbon intensity scores of 15 and market-leading yields of up to 140 gallons per dry metric ton of feedstock (on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis, or “GGE”), depending on feedstock, lignin content, site conditions, and other process parameters. Comstock Fuels plans to directly build, own, and operate a network of Bioleum Refineries in the U.S. to refine 50 million tons of biomass annually into 8 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2035, starting with its first 75,000 TPY commercial demonstration facility in Oklahoma. Comstock Fuels also licenses its advanced refining solutions to third parties for additional production in the U.S. and global markets, including several recently announced and other pending projects.
