| Technology Brief |
Chempolis’ core products are the two patented biorefining technologies: 1) formicobio for the production of cellulosic ethanol and biochemicals from non-food biomasses and 2) formicofib for the production of papermaking fibers (i.e. pulp) and biochemicals from non-wood biomasses. These two technologies share a common technology platform that enables selective fractionation of various biomasses with a novel biosolvent, full recovery of biosolvent and co-production of biochemicals. Chempolis’ technologies enable highly profitable and environmentally sustainable biorefining deriving from higher revenues and reduced operating costs while CO2 emissions and other pollution to atmosphere and waterways can be eliminated practically completely.
