Low-Cost Cellulosic Sugars Produced by NREL's Deacetylation and Mechanical Refining Process

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has developed a deacetylation and mechanical refining (DMR) process that combines low-severity chemical pretreatment and mechanical refining to sidestep the expenses and challenges of traditional pretreatments, such as hydrothermal and dilute acid technologies. The DMR process is an important step in turning agricultural waste to sustainable aviation fuel.
