Overcoming the challenges of producing second generation ethanol from lignocellulose residues
The BBI JU Flagship LIGNOFLAG has helped to overcome the challenges of deploying second generation bioethanol at scale from local abundant biomass residues.
Straw is a common residue generated by agriculture, which has largely been underutilised. The LIGNOFLAG project found the solution to create biofuels from this resource and have developed a second generation flaghsip biorefinery to produce bio-based ethanol from non-food resources. The approach is based on Clariant’s sunliquid® technology and is a highly innovative and sustainable technology to produce cellulosic sugars and cellulosic ethanol from agricultural residues
It is based upon the availability of straw biomass bioethanol yields and the market price
The carbon footprint is much lower than fossil fuels, representing greenhouse gas savings that could reach up to 95%
It will boost farmers income and social infrastructure through new value chain and market development
