Abstract

Acid hydrolysis of surplus cellulosic materials, such as bagasse, into fermentation sugars offers enormous opportunity world wide to add incremental value to farming operations and displace expensive, imported, polluting oil fuel products. Arkenol has developed and patented a strong acid hydrolysis process which can economically convert cellulose into ethanol for transportation fuel. Arkenol has begun development of three such sugar cane plantation projects and has a similar rice straw-to-ethanol project fully permitted and in financing.
