DOE funding to support scale up of AFEX biomass pretreatment process
Source : greencarcongress.com
The Michigan Biotechnology Institute (MBI) will use $4.3 million in US Department of Energy (DOE) funding to scale up the AFEX (ammonia fiber expansion) biomass pretreatment process developed by Bruce Dale, professor of chemical engineering and materials science at Michigan State University (MSU) from lab bench scale to a 100-fold larger working prototype. AFEX uses ammonia and water under moderate pressure and heat to break plant material down into an intermediate form. Sugars can then be easily extracted and converted into fuels and chemicals, replacing oil and natural gas. Nearly all the ammonia is recycled and the rest goes into the intermediate product, which could alternatively be turned into cattle feed.
