Sweetwater boosts biofuels capacity with system purchase

Danish renewable company BioGasol has delivered a commercial biomass pretreatment system to US-based Sweetwater Energy.

The cellulosic sugar producer will use the unit in its demonstration facility to produce pretreated biomass for use in downstream processes.

‘Acquiring this unit, capable of processing 100kg of dry biomass per hour, will bolster our biofuel production capacity and allow us to test and optimise our biomass pretreatment processes,’ says Sweetwater CEO Arunas Chesonis.
