“…[ 35 ] Lignins with a low sulfur content are of interest as fi llers for various polymers and rubbers. Aiming at fulfi lling the dream of injection-moldable wood, the German company Tecnaro has introduced moldable lignin-based polymer compounds, marketed as Arboform TM , consisting of a pelletized and moldable mixture of thermoplastic lignin with fl ax, hemp, and other natural fi bers.…”

Dwindling fossil resources, surging energy demand and global warming stimulate growing demand for renewable polymer products with low carbon footprint. Going well beyond the limited scope of natural polymers, biomass conversion in biorefineries and chemical carbon dioxide fixation are teamed up with highly effective tailoring, processing and recycling of polymers. “Green monomers” from biorefineries, and “renewable oil”, gained from plastics' and bio wastes, render synthetic polymers renewable without impairing their property profiles and recycling. In context of biofuel production, limitations of the green economy concepts are clearly visible. Dreams and reality of “green polymers” are highlighted. Regardless of their new greenish touch, highly versatile and cost‐effective polymers play an essential role in sustainable development.

“…The DOE issued reports on the top value added chemicals that could be made from biomass using sugars, synthesis gas, or lignin as starting materials in 2004 and 2007 (Werpy and Petersen 2004;Holladay et al 2007). An updated market assessment and potential of these chemicals was published in 2016 (Biddy et al 2016).…”

Kraft pulp and paper mills have several advantages for serving the emerging biorefinery industry as a source of raw materials. This review examines technologies for producing liquid biofuels, chemicals, and advanced materials from woody feedstocks to generate new sources of revenue. Market pull comes in part from government policies that drive substitution of petroleum-based products with biobased equivalents. Kraft mills have ample networks to supply feedstocks, whether these are forest residues or byproduct side streams. Pulp mills are well suited to expand sufficiently to accommodate production of value added platform chemicals that are in demand because of brand owner sustainability commitments.

“…Holladay et al (2007) classified the various uses into three categories: powerfuel-gasification (utilizing lignin as a carbon source in energy applications such as heat and power and synthesis gas derived fuels), macromolecules (utilizing lignin's macromolecular nature for example in carbon fibers, adhesives, and resins), and aromatic chemicals (breaking up lignin's macromolecular structure to aromatic monomers, including BTX chemicals, (benzene, toluene, xylene) and phenol). Ragauskas et al (2014) reviewed challenges and recent advancements in the processing and use of lignin in materials (carbon fibers, plastics, and composites) and fuels and chemicals.…”

In a previous paper, conceptual process design, simulation, and mass and energy balances were presented for an organosolv process with a hardwood feed of 2350 metric tons (MT) per day and ethanol, lignin, furfural, and acetic acid production rates of 459, 310, 6.6, and 30.3 MT/day, respectively. In this paper, the investment and operating costs of the process and the minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) to make the process economically feasible were estimated. The total capital investment of the plant was approximately 720 million USD. Lignin price was found to affect the MESP considerably. With a base case lignin price of 450 USD/MT, the MESP was approximately 3.1 USD per gallon (gal). Higher lignin price of 1000 USD/MT was required to equal the MESP with the December 2013 ethanol market price (2.0 USD/gal). In addition to lignin price, the MESP was found to be strongly affected by feedstock, enzyme, and investment costs. Variations in feedstock and investment costs affected the MESP by approximately 0.2 and 0.5 USD/gal, respectively. Changing the enzyme dosage and price from base case estimate of 5270 USD/MT and 0.02 g/g cellulose to more conservative 3700 USD/MT and 0.06 g/g cellulose, respectively, increased the MESP by 0.59 USD/gal.
