Omnivore: a multi-feedstock biorefinery

从作物残渣和废料生产的可持续木质纤维素生物乙醇的市场不断增长。用这些材料生产生物燃料具有挑战性，因为没有一种材料通常在一个地点以适当的数量提供，以支持以覆盖资本投资所需的规模进行加工。此外，木质纤维素的常规加工产生的可发酵糖浓度对于有效的燃料生产来说太稀，并且通过复杂的加工或蒸发浓缩来克服这一点是昂贵的。Omnivore系统将通过开发原料不可知的木质纤维素加工系统来克服供应挑战。Omnivore将通过使用第一代糖来补充木质纤维素糖浓度的混合系统来克服糖浓度的挑战。木质纤维素生物燃料的可验证%将吸引双重交易义务信贷，这将提高盈利能力。

There is a growing market for sustainable lignocellulosic bioethanol produced from crop residues and waste materials. Producing biofuels from these materials is challenging because none are typically available in appropriate quantities in a single location to support processing at the scale needed to cover capital investment. In addition, conventional processing of lignocellulosics produces fermentable sugar concentrations that are too dilute for effective fuel production, and overcoming this through complex processing or evaporative concentration is expensive. The Omnivore system will overcome the supply challenge by developing a feedstock agnostic lignocellulose processing system. Omnivore will overcome the sugar concentration challenge, by operating a hybrid system using first generation sugars to supplement the concentration of lignocellulosic sugars. The verifiable % of lignocellulosic biofuel will attract a double trading obligation credit, which will improve profitability.
