Abstract: A more efficient and economical production/processing/utilization system for managing waste lignin produced in the manufacturing of cellulosic ethanol. The process is also more environmentally sound as the multiple uses of a single feedstock on and off site result in a direct reduction of life cycle green house gas emissions. The resulting benefits of this type of co-location will also speed the commercialization for cellulosic bio fuel and help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
