Additional Information
Partners Oji Holdings Corporation (OJI), Nippon Steel &Sumikin Engineering (NSENGI), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)  
Technology Brief Mechanochemical Pulping Process for conversion of cellulose to ethanol. The projects goal is to develop a coherent bioethanol production system from biomass plantation to ethanol production. The targeted cellulosic biomass in the project is wood from eucalyptus. The development includes basic studies on raw material production, pretreatment using pulping technology, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using thermal and acid tolerant yeast, and saving energy technology with self-heat recuperation.
