Allotrope Partners, Axens North America and Sumitomo Corporation to produce feedstock for SAF

Allotrope Partners LLC, Axens North America and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas (SCOA) have signed an agreement to develop a Joint Study for a commercial plant producing cellulosic bioethanol, utilizing the Axens Futurol process. In this process the fuel is produced from woody biomass through Allotrope Cellulosic Development Company. The project will use feedstock based on local Californian forest thinning materials and agricultural residues. These feedstocks in part come from the waste generated in large forest fire prevention activities to reduce risk of wildfires that have become a critical challenge in California in recent years.  This project will produce a commercial grade bioethanol,
