TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGESOther 2nd Generation
Severity High severity>150°C, entails chemical degradation
Low severity<70°C, preserves chemical structures
Lignin output BurnedDegraded lignin burned for energy
Valorized as chemicalHigh value chemical
Cellulose output Crystalline Low reactivity, contaminated with inhibitors
Amorphous High reactivity, no inhibitors
Fermentability Low , with inhibitorsContaminated with inhibitors
High – no inhibitorsHigh reactivity, no inhibitors, laced with phosphates
Residue Requires need detoxificationProducts/biomass degradation
FertilizerMinerals with traces of phosphates
Corrosion HighHigh temperature and/or strong acid
Low/noneLow temperature, weak acid
Feedstock Specific AgnosticSuccessfully tested on most LC biomass
Plant size LargeRequires concentrated production of vast amounts of biomass
Small to largeDistributed, smaller unit biomass production possible
Hydrolysis time 72h 24h
Enzymes requirementsHigh
High enzyme OPEX costsComplex cocktail
Very lowLow enzyme OPEX costs
Easier enzyme cocktail optimization
