Initial Platform Chemicals (IPCs) from Lignocellulose
100 years ago, the first commercial production of furfural started in the USA.
(Furfural) Biorefinery 101: Start Simpler
Keep it simple! Making furfural is not rocket science.
It’s all about the integrating furfural production into the mass and energy balance of a pulp or sugar mill,
PET Recycle & Reuse – Only an (Important) Interim Solution!
PET recycling is important, but all polyesters must be made from sugars (rather sooner than later)
Pulp Miller’s Strategy: Integrate Biochemicals (Furfural)
Pulp Mills are an ideal source of large amounts of ‘free pentoses’, from which furfural is made.
Business Development (Pulp Mill)
The conversion and extraction of furfural from pulping liquors would be an additional source of income and could also improve the energy efficiency and environmental footprint of pulp mills.
Two More Factsheets: Biobased Products
There are already a wide range of commercially available bio-based products on the market offering a diverse range of functionalities.
Why should the public sector purchase them?
Factsheet #1: What are biobased products?
Sustainability of bio-based products is dependent on multiple factors, such as sourcing of feedstock, design of the production process, adequate choice of disposal option, etc.
Defining Moment for Bioplastic Feedstock Developments
The decline of crude oil prices during 2015 forward has hampered the growth of bioplastics, but there are remarkable technology achievements to make biochemical building blocks.
Global demand for biobased resins to rise 19% per year through 2017
Robust growth in demand is expected in virtually all geographic markets
