| Technology Brief |
Lignol is manufactured using the feedstocks lignin and a Mixed Fatty Acid (MFA) as blend oil. In particular Tall Oil Fatty Acids (TOFA), seem to be of interest. Lignin and an MFA are processed into Lignol using process chemicals and utilities at mild pressure and mild temperature.

| Additional Information |
In September 2017, RenFuel concluded a cooperation and development agreement with the forestry industry company Rottneros regarding collaboration on the development of lignin extraction from Vallvik Mill in Söderhamn and a LOI for coming guarantee volumes of raw material, lignin, to Lignol plant. In May 2018, RenFuel also signed a cooperation agreement with Preem to secure downstream capability and guarantee revenue from Lignol: This forms the basis for being able to produce 77,000 tonnes/yr of Lignol for commercial use from 2021, using 25,000 tonnes/yr lignin and 50,000 tonnnes/yr MFA.
