Issue 46, 2012 - Cellulose butanol project passed feasibility review

The cellulose butanol project passed the feasibility review

Recently, the 50,000 tons/year cellulose biomass hydrolysis fermentation to cellulose butanol co-production chemicals ethanol and acetone project passed the feasibility review
.
The project is based on the relevant patented technology of the energy and chemical laboratory of Guangzhou Energy Institute, and is organized and implemented
by Zhejiang Changguang Group.

The project pays attention to clean production, safety, environmental protection and other measures are feasible, can achieve the organic combination of safety production and energy saving and emission reduction, the project has better economic and environmental benefits after the implementation, the project is expected to have a total investment of 230 million yuan, with straw and other agricultural processing residues as raw materials, through hydrolysis, fermentation to achieve the co-fermentation of pentose and hexose in the hydrolysate, to produce cellulose butanol and co-produce acetone and ethanol
。 The project will realize the integration of straw biomass whole sugar conversion technology to cellulose butanol, build a 10,000-ton cellulose butanol co-production acetone and ethanol production demonstration base, and realize the comprehensive utilization
of cellulosic biomass energy and resources.
