Nexant today announced the release of an assessment of next-generation and cellulosic sugar technologies. This new Nexant report—Cellulosic Sugars: Unlocking Biomass’ Potential—examines the different technology choices available.
“Cellulosic and other next-generation sugar processes are becoming technically robust, although commercial challenges remain to be overcome,” said Steven Slome, Nexant Senior Consultant. “Commercialization will allow bio-production of various chemicals and fuels, without provoking controversy via the food versus fuels debate and may potentially offer a lower cost feedstock.”
The cellulosic sugars industry, as technical issues are solved, is now faced with a number of challenges and opportunities. Nexant’s report answers the following questions:
- What technologies are available and where are they in the development process?
- What biofeedstocks are available regionally?
- Are new investments in next-generation sugars a viable solution and will they result in a new paradigm for the sector?
- Who are the key developers? What technologies are they utilizing?
- How are production economics impacted by regional and feedstock differences? READ MORE
