by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest) We’ve developed 2 proprietary biorefinery technologies producing low-cost cellulosic sugars from non-food based biomass. Our Green Power+ technology produces low-cost cellulosic sugars from the hemicelluloses. AVAP technology produces cellulosic sugars from cellulose and hemicelluloses. Our GP+ demo is in Alpena, MI; our AVAP demo is in Georgia. … European offices in Athens, Greece and Cluj, Romania.
I believe that in order for the industry to be viable, there must be multiple successful companies collaborating with end-users to produce biofuels, biomaterials and bio-based chemicals at or near the capacity for their facilities. If we have only one or two successful companies in our space, we’ll just have another business school case study!
As a second wish, I would love to see more educated investors in the space who understand the 1) timeline and 2) the capital requirements for these types of projects.
