Lignol is a Canadian company based in BC which is undertaking
to construct biorefineries for the production of fuel-grade
ethanol and biochemicals from Canadian forests and vast
supplies of biomass feedstocks. Lignol has acquired
and since modified, a solvent based pre-treatment technology that
was originally developed by a subsidiary of General Electric.
The pre-treatment technology was previously commercialized
in a major pulp mill by Repap with an investment of over
$C 100 million.
Lignol
acquired the technology, plant operations and related engineering
data together with the original GE pilot plant, which is
now being integrated in Vancouver, BC with recently acquired
process capabilities to convert cellulose to ethanol. Lignol
has recently produced ethanol and other bio
chemicals from both hardwood and
softwood species representative of Canadian forests,
and is one of the world's more promising cellulose
to ethanol companies.
