COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
 

 

Besides the fact that this process offers an alternative to the use of food resources for the production of biobased chemicals, it allows to optimally value the obtained fractions, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, whose chemical structure is preserved.

Cellulose is obtained in an highly fermentable and "amorphous" form which makes it much more sensitive to the action of enzymes than crystalline forms from other processes; as a consequence only three of the seven enzymes required by existing processes are necessary to obtain sugars, to be used in the production of chemical derivatives or biofuels. 

This technology also allows to divide by three the time needed for the almost complete hydrolysis of cellulose. A set of benefits (see below) makes this process a technological breakthrough and establishes it as a leader in terms of competitiveness relative to rival processes under development.
