VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA , a company developing biomass to
fuel conversion technologies, announced today they have, over the
past 30 days, consistently achieved over 110 gallons of alcohols
(ethanol, methanol, n-butanol and n-propanol) per ton (U.S.) of
biomass.
Dr. George Kosanovich, CEO, "We believe the improved results
demonstrate that our thermo-chemical catalysts offer a solid
commercial route for the highly efficient and environmentally sound
conversion of waste biomass into alcohols.
"It is important to note that the laboratory work was carried
out to industry accepted standards and the results include an
assumption of only 33% of conversion efficiency in the process
which we expect to constantly improve," he stated.
Michael Jackson, President and Chairman, said, "The
thermo-chemical processing of gasified waste biomass not only has
an economic future, but can also address many of the current issues
besetting biofuels produced from high-priced food crops.
"Waste biomass, whether it be in the form of corn stover,
sugarcane bagasse, MSW or wood chips, provides an enormous, global
biofuel feedstock resource that is sustainable, economic, carbon
neutral and is, importantly, protective of food production."
The Syntec B2A ('biomass to alcohol') technology, initially
developed at the University of British Columbia, is focused on
second-generation cellulosic ethanol production.
Syntec's innovative technology uses any renewable waste biomass
such as hard or soft wood, sawdust or bark, organic waste,
agricultural waste (including sugar cane bagasse and corn stover),
and switch-grass to produce syngas. This syngas, comprised of
carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is then scrubbed and passed through a
fixed bed reactor containing the Syntec catalysts to produce
ethanol, methanol and higher order alcohols. The Syntec technology
can also produce alcohols from biogas (sourced from anaerobic
digestion of manure and effluent), landfill gas or stranded
methane.
