Furfural Production
Restricted content
Corn | Maize
Furfural from Corncobs Corncobs are used for about 70% of the global furfural production.
Rice
Our pilot plant testing of rice husks have that they make furfural ‘beautifully’ and that its lignocellulosic residue is better suitable for co-generation of electricity, than the husk itself.
Agave to Zebrawood
Highlights of our biomass (testing) program.
Olives
Furfural has been made for years in small quantities from olive pomace or the cuttings of olive trees is well
Cotton
A forgotten feedstock (was used in the old Russian furfural industry)
Wood
Furfural from Hardwood (residues) or pulping liquor
Sunflower
High pentosan content and easy to process!
Kenaf
Very low moisture content and a pentosan content 18 to 25%.
