Adding a biomass-to-ethanol stream to an existing starch or sugar processing plant is an excellent start.  There are multiple advantages.

First, Inbicon’s technology is flexible.  It can be integrated into most processes, utilizing biomass leftovers from the field, cellulose parts from fractionated grains, or bagasse from sugar processing.

If you also use our co-generation integration, you’ll use less fossil fuel to process your grains.  And no fossil fuel to process the biomass.  Behold, a cleaner, more sustainable planet—at least your corner of it.  

Perhaps most important, the Inbicon process produces more energy from biomass than it uses.  As it breaks down the lignocellulose to make ethanol, it’s also making a powdered biofuel, which can be converted into extra energy to process your starch or sugar fuel-ethanol production.   

The Inbicon process is ideal for grain-fed biorefineries utilizing a fractionation technology. A biomass feedstock already exists at your location.  If the plant separates the corn’s endosperm and converts it to ethanol, and separates the germ for food oil, the Inbicon process could convert the leftover fractions to increase your ethanol production and add higher-value products. 

Of course, as a producer, you’d also reap the tax advantages of any government mandates for producing cellulosic ethanol.
