What are the four keys to successful scale up & commercialization? According to this illuminating presentation given at ABLC 2023 by David O’Brien, Senior Bioprocessing Technology Leader at Merrick, they include: understanding how the process works at pilot scale, developing a scale-up risk register; keeping technology team & plant operators involved in the project; and, […]
GranBio Technologies has developed two patented BioPlus nanocellulose production technologies to cater to different end-use markets, BioPlus® with AVAP and BioPlus with GreenBox®. Both processes are demonstrated at the scale of 1/2 tpd at GranBio Tech Biorefinery in Thomaston, Georgia, USA. These processes allow for the economical extraction of commercial-scale nanocellulose from any biomass with […]

Airline- and location-independent: the Book and Claim system allows (corporate) buyers to source SAF based on their total aviation footprint in one transaction, rather than sourcing through each airline individually. Andreea Moyes, Global Aviation Sustainability Director for Air bp gave this overview of how it works and why it works at ABLC 2023.
By Melich Seefeldt, Vice President – Business Development, Europe, Praj Industries Special to The Digest Advanced bioethanol (also named 2G or cellulosic bioethanol from inedible biomass) and its co-products lignin, stillage, and biogenic CO2 are sustainable key tools to decarbonize the difficult-to-abate transport sector. In addition, they can be chemical precursors and intermediates for next-gen […]
Bioprocessing solutions for next gen biorefineries is what MetGen is about, and this illuminating slide guide from ABLC 2023 highlights how they maximize the value for biomass, de-bottleneck a biorefinery, all about the enzymatic lignin fractioning process, their commercial roadmap, and more. CEO Alex Michine is the incisive presenter here.
The transportation Sector accounts for 33% of total US emissions and marine fuels are 3 percent of that- and they are famously hard to electrify. In this overview from the US Department of Energy’s BioEnergy Technologies Office, technology manager Josh Messner highlights how the United States is committing to work with countries in the International […]
