Furfural: Pre-treament for Anaerobic Digestion
Furfural from Biogas Production Increased biogas yields from digesting pre-treated biomass! A recent (January 2014) study[1] found that biogas production increased after e.g. acidic pre-treatment of lignocellulosic biomass. We suggest that our BBS-Biorefining™...
Furfural & CHP
Sugar cane bagasse is well understood and technology has been developed over the years for its efficient conversion to steam and electricity.
Sunflower Husks and Furfural
Once the furfural is extracted, the remaining lignocellulosic residue can either be pelletised or further processed, as it has many value-added uses.
Mechanistic and kinetic aspects of pentose dehydration to furfural (a critical review)
Synthesis of Furfural: Well established in some aspects, but yet to be fully unravelled! Despite the the fact that furfural was discovered in 1832, Gianluca and his co-authors found that .. there is still much to be discovered, especially with regard to the complex...
Green “PET” Bottles from Furfural
Furfural as feedstock for PET alternatives. Bio-renewable PEF (polyethylene furanoate) is an alternate and green plastic for soft drink bottles. Pepsi was the first, but Coca Cola and Danone are also developing/introducing PEF bottles. PEF is made from ethylene glycol...
Furfuryl Alginate: Useful for Wound Healing
Derived from Furfural and Brown Algae A visible light-curable polysaccharide conjugate was prepared and was included with epidermal growth factor (EGF) for wound healing application[1]. Alginate was modified with furfurylamine, and the furfuryl alginate (F-alginate)...

Defining Moment for Bioplastic Feedstock Developments
The decline of crude oil prices during 2015 forward has hampered the growth of bioplastics, but there are remarkable technology achievements to make biochemical building blocks.
Biomass Suitable for Furfural Production
During 10 years of furfural process R&D, the team at International Furan Technology (“IFT”), a DalinYebo subsidiary, investigated and developed solutions mainly for the use of solid biomass.
Bio-based Solutions of the Future
Multiple market applications are being targeted that broadens the horizon further for bio-based materials.
Climate change is real.
It is happening right now.
It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.
How to Turn a Corncob into Plastic Bottles
Corncobs can be removed from the fields without any negative impact on soil health.
Actually, they take a few years to decompose and initially take nitrogen from the soil during the decomposition process!
