Australia: Sugar set for ‘Energycane’ Reinvention
Sugarcane is ideal for renewables because it is fast-growing with abundant biomass.
Besides sugar and cellulose, its hemicelluloses (or the so called 5-carbon sugars, Pentoses) are an ideal feedstock to make furfural (one of the oldest bio-based chemical building blocks).
Biomass Gasification, the Lesser Known Renewable…
Why destroy biomass for energy and release Greenhous Gases, when you can create many products via the Furfural Platform Chemical?
Pulp Miller’s Strategy: Integrate Biochemicals (Furfural)
Pulp Mills are an ideal source of large amounts of ‘free pentoses’, from which furfural is made.
Plastics from sugar: the end to petrochemicals?
Europe is determined to positively transform its chemical production by replacing oil based for innovative bio based production methods
