Press Release
   

   

   

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding and Inbicon announced the signing of a license agreement for the Inbicon Biomass Refinery technology.

   

   

The agreement grants Mitsui the right to build a number of biomass refineries in Southeast Asia using Inbicon's technology. Mitsui intends to apply the technology in the palm oil industry, where wastes from palm oil production can be converted into ethanol, solid biofuel for energy production, and animal feed.

   

   

The agreement marks the first sale of licensing for Inbicon.

   

   

Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding is one of the biggest and leading heavy industries in Japan, headquartered in Tokyo. Its activities also include the environment, energy, production, mechatronics, information, logistics, industrial plants, medical science, and leisure sectors.

   

   

Inbicon A/S develops technology for conversion and refining of soft ligno-cellulosic biomass into fuel, feed, and green chemistry products. The company operated a pilot plant since 2003, and last December opened its first Inbicon Biomass Refinery in Kalundborg, Denmark to demonstrate its technology. The plant converts wheat straw into fuel ethanol, animal feed, and lignin pellets for energy production.
