Moscow. Jul 24, 2009. /Lesprom Network/. Nippon Paper Chemicals Co., Ltd. and Cosmo Oil Co., Ltd. have conducted a feasibility study on biomass ethanol production since April last year, which revealed several technological challenges regarding the second-generation biomass ethanol production using woody materials, as reported by Nippon Paper.
Aiming to resolve these issues, the two companies teamed up with to respond to a call for parties interested in undertaking the 2009 Leading-Edge Biomass Energy Technology Research and Development, one of the areas covered by the new energy technology research and development projects by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). On July 7, it was announced that the team had been selected to undertake the research.
Nippon Paper Chemicals and Cosmo Oil will conduct research for two years together with the University of Tokyo and Kyushu University, studying the efficient production of ethanol from woody biomass using the sulfite delignification process.
The estimated project cost is about 20 million yen per year (funded by subsidies).
