FutureFuel is proud to announce the successful completion of a $15M+ capital project that has taken a new product from laboratory development to full-scale, continuous commercial production.

What began over two years ago in FutureFuel’s development labs is now a fully operational manufacturing process, enabled by the company’s integrated development, scale-up, EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction), and manufacturing capabilities in Batesville, Arkansas.

A defining feature of this project was the ability to move directly from laboratory development to continuous commercial production - a core strength of FutureFuel. Achieving this transition required close collaboration across multiple teams, including Development and Analytical Labs, Process & Project Engineering, the Process Hazard Evaluation & Scale-Up (PHES) Lab, Health & Safety, Maintenance, Utilities, and Construction. Together, these groups ensured the process could be scaled safely, efficiently, and reliably for long-term production.

The completed asset adds significant annual production capacity, strengthening FutureFuel’s manufacturing platform and reinforcing its ability to support customer requirements for production volume, performance, and reliability. This investment reflects FutureFuel’s continued commitment to transforming innovation into commercial reality while building long-term partnerships with customers based on trust, collaboration, and shared success.
