Alternative energy company InEnTec Inc. (Bend, OR) said it raised $20 million in the first round of a $69 million private placement, though it did not disclose the investors. The innovative plasma gasification to energy company said it would use the capital to fund new commercial projects.

InEnTec employs a proprietary system it calls the Plasma Enhanced Melter to produce a synthesis gas (syngas) from municipal and industrial wastes. Syngas can be converted into ethanol, methanol, clean diesel and other transportation fuels. InEnTec was formed in 1995 by scientists and engineers from MIT and Battelle. In March 2010, the company formed a joint venture with Waste Management, Inc. called S4 Energy Solutions to build and operate plasma gasification facilities using InEnTec's technology, including a renewable fuel project at the Columbia Ridge Landfill in Arlington, OR.

The company also converted its company structure from a limited liability corporation, or LLC, to a corporation and filed incorporation papers in Delaware.
