| Partners |
Chempolis, the Finnish energy company Fortum, and NRL, a state-owned Indian oil company, have formed a joint venture to construct a pioneering biorefinery in the state of Assam in Northeast India.
|
| Technology Brief |
The biorefinery will use 300 000 tons of bamboo annually from the vast natural and cultivated bamboo reserves of Northeast India. The plant will produce annually 60 million liters of bioethanol, 19 000 tons of furfural, 11 000 tons of acetic acid, and 144 gigawatt hours of green energy.
The plant’s central processes will be based on Chempolis’s patented formicobio technology. Chempolis’s competitive technological advantage is a higher refining value from biomass, such as a better yield of ethanol as well as clean, marketable by-products, such as furfural and acetic acid. At the same time, the technology offers lower operating costs and, being energy net-positive, is environmentally friendly.
