The REAC Fuel process

The REAC Fuel process converts lignocellulosic biomass in an economical and environmentally sound process to sugars, chemicals and liquid fuels.

The feedstock could either be lignocellulosic biomass or waste stream containing cellulose . Our focus is that the biomass comes from a non food source. To get sustainability of the process the preferred feed stock is from annual plants or waste streams containing cellulose. The future REAC Fuel plant is planned to be of a moderate size, so the feedstock could be produced locally and thereby increase the sustainability of the process even further.

The degradation of the biomass is performed without adding chemicals to the processing feedstock. After the degradation of the cellulose and hemi cellulose, the lignin is separated from the processing stream. The lignin could then be processed further to be used as fuel or as chemicals.

The processing stream contains only C5 and C6 sugars that could be further processed depending on target chemical of fuel.

The REAC Fuel processes are faster than conventional methods for pre-treatment of biomass. The speed and efficiency of the process can be shown to potential partners.
