Feedstock Options
The BioForming™ process can economically utilize many types of carbohydrates from cellulosic and biomass-derived feedstocks. These include:

  • Glycerol (by-product of biodiesel production)
  • Glucose and Sucrose (from sugar crops)
  • Starches (glucose containing polysaccharides)
  • Long-chained glucose contained in cellulose (plant cell walls)
  • C5 and C6 sugars such as xylose, arabinose, and glucose contained in hemicellulose (part of the protective covering around cellulose)
Since the process is feedstock flexible, it enables the use of the lowest cost biomass sources available in each location.
