In virtually every industry consumer demand for greener, more natural products are fuelling a surge of research into biological alternatives to replace oil-derived products.
Leaf Energy has a platform technology that can help turn waste plant material into biofuels, bioplastics and green chemicals with a green, sustainable, economical process.
Leaf’s Glycerol Pretreatment Process uses a cheap, recyclable reagent, Glycerol, in a simple process, to break down plant matter into Lignin, Cellulose and Hemicellulose at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure. These component parts are then available for further processing to sugars using enzymatic hydrolysis and those sugars can then be converted to biofuels, bioplastics and green chemicals.
