Lignin extraction-Organic solvent
5
Technology Description
Isolating lignin from wood pulp could enable use of lignin for new industrial products, such as chemicals, or for use as a biofuel in boilers or lime kilns. Solvent-based pulping is one of the methods under exploration.
Relevance for Net Zero
The technology can provide additional sources of biomass for use in other applications, which could be valuable given that there is an upper limit on the potential for sustainable biomass. However, this technology does not directly reduce pulp and paper industry emissions.
