Unfortunately, I\u2019m having a not-so Chrismassy holiday break in the hospital being poked and prodded the past week so all I can do for now is blog a bit with some cutting and pasting on my mobile app.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a recent one from Our Australian friends Leaf Resources. The company has developed a patented biomass pretreatment process called GLYCELL, which uses glycerine to economically produce cellulosic sugars.
\nLeaf Resources recently announced a collaboration with Novozymes, the world\u2019s largest producer of industrial enzymes, to further increase the yields and efficiency associated with Leaf Resources\u2019 innovative biomass conversion technology.<\/p>\n
The GLYCELL technology operates at low temperature and pressure, and uses crude glycerin as a low cost, recyclable reagent. The process efficiently deconstructs plant biomass and produces a high-yield of high-quality, concentrated cellulose and hemicellulose sugars, which in turn enables cost competitive production of renewable chemicals.<\/p>\n
As part of the collaboration, Novozymes will customize its broad portfolio of robust, high-yielding enzymes to the GLYCELL process. The goal of the collaboration is to design a highly tailored enzyme package that allows the GLYCELL process to achieve superior performance, quality, and reliability for the production of high-value renewable chemicals. Leaf and its development partner, Claeris, LLC, will then incorporate Novozymes\u2019 tailored enzyme package into the biomass pretreatment section of integrated biorefineries.<\/p>\n
Leaf Resources strives to become a key player in the conversion of biomass to functional sugars, thereby accelerating the expansion of the fast-growing renewable chemicals market.<\/p>\n
I have covered some of Leaf Resources\u2019 recent activities and also interviewed the company for Tecnon OrbiChem\u2019s Biomaterials newsletter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
