One of the major challenges facing the energy and petrochemical sectors is the quest to develop a technology that will guarantee, at oil industry scale, the effective, efficient and profitable conversion of non-food biomass into liquid fuels and a range of useful chemicals. Nova Pangaea Technologies’ (NPT) staged, progressive, physical and thermochemical Refnova™ process enables a complete fractionation of lignocellulosic materials into their constituent parts. Now covered by US patent, the NPT process takes green feedstock as cut and uses no bioactives such as enzymes or bacteria. Internally catalysed it is continuous, fast, simple and clean.
