KL Energy (KLE) develops and commercializes technology to convert biomass into sugars and ethanol. In addition to research and engineering activities, KLE operates a demonstration plant in Wyoming that processes biomass at a 1 dry ton per hour rate. The demonstration plant uses proprietary technology developed by KLE that can process a variety of feedstocks, including sugarcane bagasse, hardwoods, and softwoods.
In 2010, KLE formed a strategic partnership with Petrobras S/A focused on the deployment of its technology in Petrobras sugarcane mills. KLE has validated its technology at the demonstration scale for sugarcane bagasse, achieving high ethanol yields, and continued advancements are underway.
In cooperation with industry leading partners, KLE is presently optimizing its technology and developing commercial-scale projects.
This paper will provide an update on KLE’s technology development and will discuss opportunities for commercial deployment in a variety of industries.
