Keeping the global climate challenges in mind, the transition needs to happen soon.
\nHowever, until now, the technologies available for processing woody biomass or other sustainable biomass streams have not been able to meet the market’s demand in terms of both volume, price competitiveness, regulations, investments, etc.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Fibenol made a strategic decision 7 years ago to pursue a new path, aiming to introduce fermentation-grade sugars and nearly unaltered lignin derived from forestry industry residues to the market. The vision was broader – to provide genuinely sustainable materials and move beyond the use of fossil-based chemicals.<\/p>\n

Already in 2016, we believed in the transformative potential of woody residues to move beyond the use of fossil-based chemicals and create something more valuable. While the challenges of scaling up and building a world-class biorefinery were as tough as anticipated, then combination of cutting-edge technology, superior team, target oriented suppliers and world-class engineering expertise of De Smet Engineers & Contractors (DSEC) has enabled us to scale-up innovation in this field,\u00a0\u00bb said Peep Pitk, CDO of Fibenol.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fibenol\u2019s SunburstTM technology allows to convert wood chips within seconds into chocolate mousse like paste and split it further into three different streams: C5 sugars, C6 sugars and a lignin fraction called LIGNOVATM. Fibenol has now concluded the commissioning phase of the biorefinery in Imavere, Estonia and enters into production ramp-up phase which allows to deliver first thousands of tons of these products to the market already within 2023.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to participate in Fibenol’s remarkable development and to testify that there are still good reasons to be optimistic in the long and challenging path to defossilise the materials and chemicals industries,\u00a0\u00bb emphasized Dimitri de Suray, CEO of De Smet Engineers & Contractors (DSEC). \u00ab\u00a0Our collaboration with Fibenol has been highly rewarding, and it paves the way for promising partnerships in the future.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
