Clariant says it has signed a joint research agreement with
ExxonMobil and Renewable Energy Group (REG; Ames, Iowa) to evaluate
the potential use of cellulosic sugars to produce biofuel. The
cellulosic sugars would be obtained from sources such as
agricultural waste and residue. The new partnership expands a
previously announced agreement for joint research between
ExxonMobil and REG. In that partnership the two companies
successfully validated the ability of bio-conversion technology
from REG Life Sciences to convert sugars from cellulosic biomass
into biodiesel by way of a single-step process. The agreement with
Clariant allows ExxonMobil and REG to further optimize REG's
bio-conversion process using cellulosic sugars created through
Clariant's sunliquid process. The ultimate objective is to combine
the Clariant and REG processes into a cellulosic
biomass-to-biodiesel technology, according to the companies.
