Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) today announced the execution by its subsidiary, Comstock Fuels Corporation (“Comstock Fuels”), of an amendment to its exclusive license agreement with RenFuel K2B AB (“RenFuel”) for use of RenFuel’s patented catalytic esterification process to refine Comstock Fuels’ proprietary BioleumTM biointermediates. The amendment expanded the territory from North America, Central America, and South America to include Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam to facilitate ongoing project development by licensees of Comstock Fuels broader lignocellulosic biomass refining process.

Johan Löchen, RenFuel’s chief executive officer, stated, “Comstock and its licensees are making great and rapid progress developing sites for construction of demonstration and commercial scale facilities based on Comstock’s Bioleum refining process, including RenFuel’s patent catalytic esterification process. Our partnership with Comstock has been productive in many ways and we are pleased with the rapid progress and the mutual benefits of expanding the scope of our collaboration and our license.”

David Winsness, Comstock Fuels’ president, added, “Our patented and patent-pending technologies integrate proven systems from multiple industries in new ways to create a new class of petroleum refinery – a Bioleum Refinery, to refine abundant woody biomass into renewable fuels at market-leading yields and profitability. The RenFuel process is a key enabling step in that integration and we continue to be excited to work with the RenFuel team on our combined commercialization efforts.”
