BioGasol

BioGasol is a combined biotechnology and engineering company in the field of renewable energy. BioGasol has developed breakthrough technologies for the sustainable production of bioethanol based on lignocellulosic biomasses. With the BioGasol Process Concept it is possible to convert straw and other agricultural residues into ethanol, biogas, hydrogen and solid fuel with reuse of process water. The concept provides low ethanol production costs and it is estimated that the first commercial plant will produce ethanol at a cost which is competitive to oil-derived transport fuels.
BioGasol uses a highly effective thermochemical pretreatment that makes a subsequent detoxification of the pretreated material unnecessary. In a unique fermentation BioGasol uses its own microorganisms that are able not only to convert the C6 but also C5 sugars in the biomass for maximal ethanol yield. Due to an integrated biogas production process the water can be re-used. The whole production process runs energy self sufficient with a surplus of energy for export.
