Jun. 2009 - Jun. 2012With increasing focus on utilizing plants and wood as fuel, various technologies that can produce ethanol from wood are now in the process of being developed. At the University of Bergen, a research group has developed a method of one step conversion of solid lignin to liquid products. Patents are developed by Dr. Mike Kleinert and Professor Tanja Barth. Based on this “Lignin to liquid” process, LTL Nor AS was established spring 2009. This one-step process provides qualitative turnover of lignin to biofuel.
