FEASIBILITY OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOREFINING
Two major problems in North America may both least be at least partially solved by a single concept we have proposed to convert uneconomical kraft pulp mills to wood-to-ethanol plants. When developed fully for wood, perhaps the most difficult but also the most abundant lignocellulosic material, we expect the RePurposed Kraft Mill to be able to successfully process a wide variety of lignocellulosic materials, including many of the crop materials and residues found in China. The two major problems are: (1) future supplies and cost of petroleum-based transportation fuels as well as potential impacts of fossil fuels in general on global climate change; and (2) chronic poor financial performance of North American pulp and paper companies, due to oversupply of manufacturing capacity.
