Bio-crude to flexible bio-refineries
Vision Organized Scientific Agriculture + Innovation →
2nd (Energy + Food) Revolution $2 Billion+ Business by 2012 with over
50 % contribution margins through flexible products basket based on Optimized
“Volume + Value (V+V)” = Bio-X-Nol flexibility (X = etha, propa, buta, penta..).
“Bio-Crude” raw materials basket strategy gives multi-feed stock flexibility,
lowest procurement & logistics costs + no need to focus on a feedstock but
on a basket fitting a defined selection criteria. First
principles and IP based technology approach. Fit / develop technology for best
business economics & not vice versa (let the dog wag the tail and not vice
versa). Fractionate “Bio-Crude” basket into high value pure fractions of
Cellulose (C), Hemi Cellulose (HC), & Lignin (L). Refine & Process each
fraction into best “V + V” model. End to End R&D and its integration into a
5 TPD pilot plant to optimize Bio-Crude basket, and technology. Finally,
Lignin, gypsum and carbon-di-oxide sales/utilization have been defined.
