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,
Growing the Bioeconomy
PET Recycle & Reuse – Only an (Important) Interim Solution!
PET recycling is important, but all polyesters must be made from sugars (rather sooner than later)
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.
Initial Platform Chemicals (IPCs) from Lignocellulose
100 years ago, the first commercial production of furfural started in the USA.
New generation of high energy density biofuels: ‘Furanics’
Fuels with superior economics and properties in comparison to current biofuels
Pulp Miller’s Strategy: Integrate Biochemicals (Furfural)
Pulp Mills are an ideal source of large amounts of ‘free pentoses’, from which furfural is made.
GREEN focus!
The building of businesses on the People Planet Profit sustainability principle requires a paradigm shift from all participants (bankers, engineers, government officials, operators, farmers, etc.
)
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.
