Danish biorefinery can save US billions
The Danish Inbicon biorefinery process could save the US billions on foreign oil, the organization states.
The process developed by Inbicon does not attempt to turn every sugar molecule into ethanol, but instead produces four high-value end products: ethanol, a powdered biomass-based fuel that can be combusted to provide heat to drive the process, a bacterial inhibitor for use in the fermentation processes, and molasses syrup for use as livestock feed.
The concept has been successfully tested at pilot plant level, and Inbicon is now building a larger scale biomass refinery at Kalundborg on Zealand
