Chemrec Studies Georgia Pulp/Paper Mills for BioRefineries
Biomass-to-energy company Chemrec is evaluating possible sites in the state of Georgia for developing integrated fuels-from-the-forest® black liquor gasification biorefineries at pulp and paper mills there. … Chemrec biorefineries transform mills into producers of biofuels or biochemicals or even green electricity and power. Such transformation also creates jobs for biorefinery operations and for harvesting forestry biomass, the feedstock for the patented Chemrec technology.
