Commercial production of jet fuels and nanocellulose from forest waste
An $80 million grant from the US DOE will allow AVAPCO LLC to ramp up production bioethanol and nanocellulose by upcycling woody residue from sawmills, paper, and pulp plants. Life cycle analysis provides a valuable tool for assessing the climate change and environmental benefits.
New, open-access book highlights opportunities in the forest bioeconomy
Forest Bioeconomy and Climate Change examines how forests, forestry, and forest-based solutions can contribute to the development of a climate- neutral, circular-bioeconomy paradigm.
The Alliance for Pulp & Paper Technology Innovation Hosts Webinar Series: “Biobased Materials for Advanced Manufacturing”
The Alliance for Pulp & Paper Technology Innovation (APPTI) has organized a webinar series entitled “Biobased Materials for Advanced Manufacturing” to highlight the nanocellulose research being conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the University of Maine, and 20+ industrial partners under their multi-year $40 million bio-derived materials research collaboration funded by the Department of Energy.
This new biodegradable glitter is made entirely from plants
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created a cellulose-based glitter which is sustainable and biodegradable.
