Lignol mentioned in Globe and Mail On Monday the Globe and Mail wrote a nice special on clean tech in Canada. There was lots of mention of turning forestry waste into commercially viable materials and making use of it in other ways. I can't find the article online but I will write the little blurb about Lignol Innovations. I took the liberty of strategically highlighting some key words. Good exposure.
LIGNOL INNOVATIONS LTD.
Lignol innovations has demonstrated its unique and economical integrated process technology for bio-refining abundant and renewable ligno-cellulosic biomass feedstock into ethanol, pure lignin and other valuable co-products. Lignol's unique de-lignification pre treatment Organosolv process seperates woody biomass into its components of cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin. The cellulose and hemi cellulose are enzymatically hydrolysed into sugars, which are then fermented, distilled and dehydrated to fuel-grade ethanol. The high purity lignin can be processed into a great variety of high value products. This innovation is a key solution for producing ethanol and high value products from low value feedstocks, while providing an alternative to reliance on fossil fuels.
